I'm just about near to ordering my new Rig, and i'll be running 2x 8800GTXes, and on Newegg I saw these physics processors... and I was curious what they do, why I would want one, would it work if i'm running two 8800GTXes, and would it fit, or be beneficial to have one?

Seperate physics processors? How does it work?

What is it and what does it do? It is a PCI card that accelerates the extensive mathematical operations required by the physics subsystems of some games.
Why would you want one? If you have ~$150 burning a hole in your account and you seriously love GRAW and the other couple of games that can use it.
Is it worth it? I don't think so, yet. Even for the (currently) limited number of games that support it, it is not required.
That said, I want one, and I'm going to get one pretty soon. I have been wanting to do some small little projects for which I think they would be quite useful.
