Ok, this seems a little interesting to me as I will officially purchase my gaming rig a liitle after new year. So I noticed that there is a 2 + 1 deal that I can have a CF setup plus another card for Physics. I am probbably going to dabble into physics however is this a feature in the workings or can it be put into use right now? Lastly is this phsics setup better or a PhysX Aegia card better? If I choose the 3 card setup w/ ATI will I expect higher FPS?

I like ATI's idea as i will to be following it. ATI is going to be using HAVOK physic engine which more games use then Ageia (currently Company of heros supports HAVOK also 3dmakr05-06. The reason its so nice is you can Crossfire say X1950XTX and have your lowely X1600, OR X1300 do all the physics. Its called Asymmetic degin any 1k series can do it. Making it way cheaper then Ageia and more games will support it.

Note: you can also only have 1 card like 1950XTX do rendering, while you have another either another 1950XTX or X1600 do physics.
