Ageia also announced that Asus and BFG will be selling the card as a stand-alone product. It didn't specify an MSRP, but adding the card on a Dell XPS 600 is currently a $249 upgrade.

yeah looks like 299 is the pricepoint.
wonder if pci limits the bandwidth at all. I bet it does. It's prolly a good idea to wait for physX 2 on PCI-e, as I assume that's where it'll be headed. I'm hoping they have the 6-8 month upgrade cycle in mind for the PPU as is the case with GPUs. Mouth is watering thinking about the kind of system will be possible to build in early 2007. No games coming out until then that warrant an upgrade.
should be plenty of time to save up for a 30 in. dell display or maybe whatever comes out to compete with it |
