aegis physics

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.

List at http://physx.ageia.com/titles.html

Small list, but it's a start.

Well they are out Dell system have them. They cost 249.00 and can be added
to the XPS 600 systems and higher. Been a fast couple of years The are
attached to the mother board so are not on the video cards.

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_a...ing_physics.pdf
