I'm sure some of you ave heard about this product, out soon, and if not Google will give much better info than I could.
Short description: it's a coprocessor meant for accelarting physics in games.
And I've found accidentally info about two incoming cards based on it, one from Asus and one from BFG. Now, what's interesting is that while the prototype board seems to have both PCI and PCIe x1 (on opposing sides, quite clever). The production baords have only PCI.
Hmm...let us see...device with 128MB of memory, working with ~realtime app, sitting on PCI bus.
You know at what I'm hinting, right?
Perhaps finally typical benchmark reviews will show something "weird" with Via...
