Saw something new that may be a must have in the near future called a "physics processing unit" The very little I read about it summed it up as taking some of the processing load off the cpu like the vid card does. Just wondering what yall think about this

At this point it is one of the most amazing pieces of hardware out there.....that does nothing but lower your framerate in games that support it, while adding little more than a few extra partical effects.  Some day, if all the right stars line up, it may be great, but it wont cost $300 then either.

Right now its a product in search of a market.
