Ageia Lowers Prices

They could give them away free, but until there's something decent to play that uses it there's no point in getting one.
EXACTLY! By the time the "killer app" comes out, they may have cut the price again.

these are used by servers all the time. completeyly reliable.
True, but servers are designed with them in mind, not as an afterthought (unless you're buying your servers from Uncle Bob's House of Servers or something).

How does this change things?

How is a server environment any better on the risers than a non server environment?
 
You guys sure like arguing about offtopic things...

His point was servers run harder and hotter on the equipment...

PhysX needs games. Games won't have PhysX until players buy Ageia cards. Bye, bye Ageia. :(
 
This ppu business might have worked if they came into the picture around the time 3dfx was still around but today with dual core processors and quad cores just around the corner and with the video cards having more and more processing power, im affraid ageia is going bankrupt unless they cut a deal with ati or nvidia to integrate their ppu on video cards.

but seriously, before everyone has a ppu in their pc they will have a dual core and then there will be no need to offload the physics from the cpu.
