Realtime physics accelerator

‘A San Jose startup is building a “physics accelerator” for PCs that will contain hardware optimized for calculating realistic simulations of real-world physics — they hope that this will bridge the gap between general-purpose PCs and the specialized game-graphics cards in consoles.’

Also, as they point out, it will be very useful for realtime weapons calculations, and I’m sure there have to be porn applications as well.
