Does anyone have a physics accelerator? Are they worth it? What noticeable changes did you get when you added this to your system?

At the moment there arent many games they fully utilise the power of PhysX cards (except for Cell Factor which pretty much needs one) but is what they do is they take away the strain from the CPU and graphics card by performing the physics calculations itself. This allows you to increase the graphics settings so you can make things look better. It wont add anything to normal operations in windows as it is basicly designed for games.
(and just so you know I dont have one but I want one...when I eventualy have a proper computer instead of a laptop)

If you love one of the games it supports then it is worth it if not then pass. Here is a list of supported games:
