Few Computer questions Reguarding Ageia and MOBO's?

Question

I've been itching to ask this: I've heard on certain motherboards mainly the Nvidia 680i or should I say the ASUS P5N32-E SLI motherboard http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16813131073
It says that it can run 2 cards in PCI express slots at full x16 speeds and then a physics card at 8x speeds, but whenever I look at the ageia Physx card it says it's interface is PCI.... WTF? Am I missing something here? It will work right.... but how? And another thing, how many of you think the Physx card will be worth it to buy and how many of you who have it like it (who have actually played physics enabled games)? It's only $143, and if you don't how long do you think it will be until it is worth it to buy? 1 year? 2 years? 3 years?

Answer 1

The slot on the 680i boards listed for Physics cards is for future physics cards that are expecated to run on PCI Express, all current ones still use plain PCI. As for are they worth buying, only one a good amount of games use them, which has still not happened yet.
