Actually, another thing that may have use for the PCI-E bandwidth is anothe gamers toy that could have some application elsewhere. A company has taped out a prototype of a Physics Processing Unit, similar to the GPU in current graphic boards. If I remember correctly, it works with a modified version of the Havok physics engine, and offloads all the number crunching from the CPU. If it eventually works as advertised, it could open up the possibility of adding actual ragdoll physics, true gravity and micro-polygon collision to apps like Poser, Vue, Bryce, etc. Nice keyboard btw. But I'm old fashioned; I -like- machine gun nests.... ;)
