PhysX add-on vid card - how soon to go mainstream in the industry?

[Vampirrella]

I was reading a few intresting articles about the PhysX board that would be used along side a standard video card for even more effects and graphical enhancements in games ect. When really will this become a reality?

What with the high end vid cards costing 400-550 bucks, will gamers /users even find using a PhysX add-on board acceptable pricewise if its gonna cost yet another 400 bucks? Smells like this might fail before it even takes off..

comments?

Need to see reviews before we can comment on whether it's worth it or does everything it is hyped to do.
