See the new physics chip is out in the UK - will there be any benefit to
current games or is it a case of waiting to see what games are written to
support this new technology (and what ATI and Nvidia do)?

I think that games have to written for it. But it is the NovodeX physics
engine, so maybe it will accelerate current games? Just a case of wait and
see.

Where online are they for sale?

Nope. Probably not for a couple of years,if at all. Some of the video card
makers are thinking of adding a physics chip the their cards.

Actually, there are a few games already out that support the Ageia PhysX
chip, and more coming soon.

Small list, but it's a start.

Well they are out Dell system have them. They cost 249.00 and can be added

Maybe you shouldn't be so ignorant and actually research it before you
go bashing it. I was skeptical, but the company puts up good
reasonings and has many partnerships with big manufacturers for big
titles and you can find them all at their site. If you seriously think
that it is a bad idea, i recommend you read this so you can shut your
mouth. http://physx.ageia.com/whitepaper_av...ng_physics.pdf

The simple fact is that the physics card at current prices and current
support levels is a *very* poor investment. There is no killer app yet,
as with early 3dfx cards, to make that price tag look worth taking a
risk with.

However there are plenty of people with money to waste on their PC, and
I'm happy to let them walk the bleeding edge for me. When the Aegis card
is half the current price I might join them... though I'm in no hurry to
add yet another fan to my PC. A great flight or driving sim using it
would probably be needed to tempt me.
