PPU - Changing your games forever
You have to read this over at the depot about the Ageia Physics Processing Unit.
Physics on a chip? Just think what this could bring. What's next, AI on a chip? Games would be so interactive and will really change the face of games. Sign me up for one. Hopefully they're not too expensive. The end of the year can't come fast enough. Quote:

That is really cool! One question though. With all of those special chips what will be left for the CPU?

I hope they go public sooner than later. This sounds like a great investment. My best guess is as the article said, they are purchased by Nvidia or ATI before they go public.
