    Yes. The next generation of games are going to take advantage of the Ageia card. Titles such as Ghost Recon: AWF and the next Unreal Tournament. I've been thinking of getting one for a bit now. Probably in my next upgrade as I probably won't go SLI.

    How do they work? does it daisy chain to your vid card? or is it a stand alone card in your PCI slot?

    I'm curious about them, but I can't find anyone up here who sells them yet, that I know of..

    they aren't available yet retail, you have to buy them as part of a system still (alienware, falcon nw, etc) they are supposed to be out retail soon.
    as for how they work, technically I don't have a clue but the are standalone cards.

    It's a stand-alone PCI Slot.

    The games have to be coded to use them. If they are Phys-X enabled, and you have the card, they will make use of the Card.

    Does it enhance FPS?

    Should. After all it is taking a lot of heavy lifting from the CPU.

    And now a prayer to the great computer god Bit-Map.

    Please let GTA 4 be Ageia enabled!

    I thnk they said they wanted more games to test them against. Right now there are only a handful of games that have the Aegia programming enabled.

    Yeah not worth the money now. Not enough games and it kills the fps. They should use pciex1 or something so i can finally use that slot. PCI is too slow
