Inquirer have some details of the high end ASUS Ageia PhysX card today.
I used to have a handle on life, but it broke.

Price... unknown but my guess £150->£250 on launch Appears to be PCI since they will work along side a duel PCI-Express setup [check Alienware site pc builder thingy] I dunno about the AGP 6800, but it should work with pretty much any 2.0+ shader card i think.... but i think its targeted at the PCI-E cards. Games, erm well the list is here aswell as a shead load of information about the cards and some nifty clips of games in action with the card! Physx Compatable GamesSome Comparison Footage The Cellfactor footage requires that you are over 16 before you can watch it but its well worth the watch and it looks stunning
Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything.

Yes but some PCs have 3 PCi-e slots, 2x GFX and one other for newer cards.

pitty aint it :/ their should be more games soon and the developers said that the cards are software upgradeable for new games so you should be ok to update your card for many years to come
