AGEIA Launches Mobile PhysX Chip for Notebooks
AGEIA Technologies announced today the world's first PhysX Mobile processor, the AGEIA PhysX 100M, for high performance gaming notebook PCs. The new PhysX 100M mobile part is designed to operate, "with power dissipation of nearly 10W under gameplay conditions." It also includes power management features not seen in the desktop version, to throttle down the clock speed and prevent overheating or if the chip is in idle. The new AGEIA PhysX 100M processor is available now. Exciting gaming notebooks powered by AGEIA PhysX Mobile Technology are expected to hit the market very soon.

lol but thats pretty neat
How many games are there that support it anyways.... like half a dozen... lol
In a laptop, this thing will actually be taking some of the battary. So it's not only useless, but it's a parasite.

Now if only i could predict gobal market shares this way.... ;)
It will more likely be the domain of the high end desktop replacements which are pretty useless as laptops.
I highly doubt you'l get any playable framerate with software thats supported by Ageia physX
you might get lucky with C.S 1.6, Unreal Tournament or the old quake games. on software mode with no HW accelleration.
but if u want to waste bucks trying good luck to you as i really dont understand how MUCH performance that having this Physx card in your lappy if your original built in graphics card is already a load of sh!t. hardly worth the few extra frames - thats "IF" the game supports it
