Uhm, yeah, maybe it looked like a test to you, but I thought it needed a new information. The physx card is on the market for more than 2 months now, and it states there that it will be out. I believe physx will be a big thing, and there should be a more up to date mention of it, or no mention at all. Still, that whole "info" part looks bad. There's just a few lines of info there, and ASUS has done much more in the past years. I mean, how do you decide what to put there and what not... tough one. --me 23:30, 8 August 2006 (CET)

Oh, I assumed it was a troll as you stated "the most revolutionary piece of hardware...". Feel free to readd it but please read Wikipedia's policy on neutral points of view and on citing claims such as this. --Yamla 21:39, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Will do ;) Still, maybe it's just me, but some of it is old news. Maybe when physx matures, it will have the place it deserves. Whatever that place is :D. --me 23:42, 8 August 2006 (CET)

It's not clear to me that it will ever take off, particularly with the general purpose CPU now commonplace in dual-core and soon, quad-core. I suspect physics calculations will just take place there. It doesn't help that the physics processors currently often result in slowdowns rather than speedups. That said, we'll see what the future brings. People have been talking about physics cards for at least five years now so maybe I'm wrong. Certainly, application-specific processors (e.g. graphics processing units) often can run circles around general-purpose chips (such as Core Duo CPUs). --Yamla 22:11, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Still, it is programmable and it's real potential is not obvious yet. But, you are right, dual core CPU's and in a few months, quad core cpu's will have enough "power" to perform almost anything. Time will tell.--me 00:22, 9 August 2006 (CET)
