Nvidia makes GPUs. Companys like ASUS and eVGA make the actual card.

Bold statement? No I would say generalized, so as to avoid any bad press that would come back from a statement which is more to the point!

CPU--->GPU---->???? The likeness will not be seen in March 2006

Hairy Lee is right, the original company that came up with the physics card, Ageia, went out of business or went bankrupt (or something) and dropped the project. I read in an issue of CPU that another company (I'm 98% sure it said BFG) picked up the project and there was a release date sometime this year.

Ageia hasn't dropped the project, not to my knowledge, it's still theirs.
