The reviews I've seen, so far, of Ageia's PHysX hardware physics card are underwhelming. The only compatible game (Ghost Recon) actually runs -slower- with PhysX. Not encouraging.
I just discovered that Nvidia is mentioning a technology called SLI Physics, where you can use a second graphics cards as a dedicated physics card. Supposedly, Forceware 90 drivers will support this functionality. Wouldn't it be cool if Forceware 90 allowed hardware physics on single Nvidia cards, too?
We shall see...

I remember reading something that said that one of the makers of NVIDIA cards wants to put a physics chip on the card with the graphics chip.
