Is it worth getting a physX processor?

Not until 2008

not really, not many games take full advantage of it yet, and sometimes it even drops performance in games. Wait a few years, then get it.

Not unless you have a lot of money to throw away, but it still wont really help right now. And they could come out with a new one any time now that will support all the new games coming out.

This should be added to one of the stickies or a permanent point should be made, I have seen a good amount of threads about this. Or maybe I am seeing the same ones.

As everybody else says it aint worth getting now but in a few years when games will support it then it will be worth getting.

No i read a review and one of the only games that supports it is GRAW.
I saw i some pics of it in action and all it does is add debris to explosions...not very good...

depends on how highly you value your 3dmark06 score, and how much money is in your budget. lol

where do you install it? PCI slot? and will the price go up or down in a few years?

PCI. I suspect the prices will go down (since it doesn't seem to much in demand)
