Also, note down the specifications it gives, Scan.co.uk aren't letting people in on what the specification is for the card, and are saying that you can only have it in a 3XS system - like people want to pay all that money!?

Also, take a look at how it affects PC gaming. This is seriously cool stuff! Link: http://physx.ageia.com/footage.html
Make sure you take a good look at Cell Factor, due for release end of 2007.

Who ever ordered one of these must be gutted now that the 256MB card is available for just ?20 more, and that's retail, including VAT, I should add.

That Asus card will be very nice. Haven't spotted any reviews in the mix yet though.

And look, Scan are now offering this piece of hardware with Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter game.

You should be aware, however, that the game does not support it very well, and that frame rates drop instead of increase, as if the load isn't taken on to the PPU completely. Shame, that.

Wait for Unreal Tournament 2007. Though I hear that UT2007 will also not lean entirely on the PhysX because they do not want it to interfere too much in multiplayer. The main guy behind the game (can't remember his name, but should) said this in an article where he also said that the Pentium 4 sucked and has always sucked, but said good things about Conroe that scared me somewhat.
