PhysX card for my rig?

Hello everyone, through out this year about this new Physx card which would enable new reallistic effects in terms of eviroment-user interaction, well Im clear on all its features, but I dont know if the card is available or not, still Im planning on pucharsing it as soon as it comes out.

Rig:

Pentium 4 3.0 e (ht)
Asus P4-P800 E deluxe
2048MB DDR 400 2-3-3-6 XML corsair
Evga CO Superclock (460/1350) 7800gs agp
SB X-FI extreme music (Pci port)
Wireless Card (Pci Port)
1wd 74gig 10k RPM raptor


Do you think is worth it to buy a physx card to this rig?

Another important point is that if the pci bus will give enough bandwith to the physx to do its processes (I have a sound blaster x-fi and a wireless card connected to the pci bus).

To the people that say that my rig is old etc...etc I know for now Im waiting until next 2 new architectures (conroe, Am2) to buy, and Im expecting that this investment (physx card) will still be usefull in my next rig (Im planning to build it in a year or 2 probbably)

So please recommend what to do, should I buy this card or not, and if Do would the Pci bus give me whole advantage of it?


PD: Do you know when this card will be available?

I do believe that BFG Tech and Asus will be selling the physics card by next month as an individual unit for around $300. I even found a site in UK that is already offering preorder. But I would wait till I get a game that fully supports this new physics card.

as far as i know the gfx card does not do physics. it is the cpu. the Ageia card will also not help in any way unless used for a supported game. it will not make a system run games better, only allow it to do more physcis. too many people are confused as to what this card will do. apart form physcis, nothing.

Screw that, I woulnd't buy it untill there's games out there games that are physics intensive enought to actually warrant a dedicated physics processor.

I wonder what the academic community thinks about this for scientific type simulation software.

Ghost Recon, adv warfighting, supports it, Also City of Villians.

I know only 2 titles, but still, a start. I probably will get the card myself, AM interested in the Ghost Recon, more so, for the ability to really get into the game.

BF2. is cool, Fear is cool, but now want some more Eye-candy. TO be really in the game , to say

or join the ARMY plenty of wars going on right now, you'll really feel like your there

actually i think it was me who said you were confused and the reason was you sounded like you thought this card ws going to boost your overall system performance, which it won't. again i doub't that system will adequately run the games that will utilise the Ageia chip.

also is the x-fi pci-e i thought it was pci, you only have an AGP board so it is doubtful you have a pci-e slot on your mobo

In response to try paint balling,
LOL--- I was a US marine in Desert Storm, Been there done that with the real stuff.. Actually tried Paint ball, but i kinda wanted to push the limits. Just not my thing. But i do enjoy computers, ALOT.. It is how i make my living.

But like everyone else, once you do a job for 10 years, you have to keep forcing yourself to do it. For me Playing Video games, is my outlet.
Loved SWG till they nerfed it to hell. Now i am all over BF2. But like everyone else, i want something more.. out of a game. I dont buy computers, with high end cards, and disk drives, to brag about benchmarks. Infact never benchmarked my system, i am all about the games, and more realism.

Once playing BF2, got with a team, and all we did, was have the squad leader hover at 500 ft, in a chopper, while the rest of us, 5 guys, halo'ed out of the chopper, to take bases. In my many years of gaming, that was the most realistic, portion of a game, i have ever played, the rush, the realism..
That is what i crave out of games.. IF this physics card does that for me, you bet i am in. Besides only $250-300 $$$.... I blow $200 in electricity a month, for my 8 server, home lab.

Only money, and time.

PS., and join the Army??? If i wanted to be a puzzy i would, but being it is, that i am a Marine, with more kills, then i personally want to remember, i will leave that to the young guys..

EBAY is your friend.
I demand fast DISK I/O..
My friend has 4 Compaq racks with 14x18gb 15k drives in each rack. Hooked up to a 4channel raid controller.
I told him, that is just stupid and insane, TILL i worked with it, OMG...
No hesitation on ANYTHING, and i do mean anything. Transfer rate was uncalculatable using the sisoft. Unzipping files, smoked my system, and i take pride in mine. Manipulating files, were just rediculous. Hence, you get what you pay for, in everything.....

Not a E-penxxx,, but more so, "Why not get it"

About the pci express thing it was misspelled it was just PCI. about the Physx card Im not expecting to help my system perf, Im just expecting to see alot of physical interactions between the user and the eviroment, obviously with compatible games, I have made my mind and Im going to buy this card as soon as it gets out, and about saving money, this is practically an investment beause even though I may plan to build a new rig, I wont have to buy a physx card then.


Thanx

Point made! Get the card when it comes out next month in two flavors, 128mb and 256mb. Happy gaming.
