WE didn't expect any AGEIA cards before May, as Asus told us we'd have to wait for May to get them. But AGEIA's other exclusive partner BFG actually has PhysX cards in retail already. BFG is shipping the Ageia PhysX Accelerator - OEM (GX-021-BG) and you can buy this piece of marchitecture for £193.82 including VAT. You only get a card for this money but it is still huge progress. The retail version is listed but still not available and it will cost slightly more, £217.32 including VAT.

Another problem with their plan is that developers will not make games that depend on this card. This means the physics are going to be superfluous eyecandy with no real influence on gameplay. They may allow some games to run faster, but for $200? Hell no. You can get SLI cards for the same benefit. Look how many people buy those, and whether or not those are essential for gaming.
I believe it is safe to say that Ageia isn't going to be around too long.
It's sorta like running graphics in software mode, yeah the CPU can do it, but a dedicated card can do a lot more, and do it faster.
This is something like only a rich person will buy anyway, you STILL need a retardedly expensive video card to make the game run smoothly at high resolutions, I hope Ageia dies, and quickly!
Things are different today. Bullets are much cheaper and the media is so much easier to manipulate.

Hee hee this reminds me back in the old 386 days when you could fit a co processor onto the motherboard
