    So Has anyone seen the M1730's PhysX card in full flight yet? :confused:

    Has it made your game play that much more enjoyable or was it all hype?

    I chose not to get one installed on my machine because it was an extra $250 and the reviews I read said that it slowed their desktops down so I would be interested if the laptop faired any different.

    For a laptop it will slow it down even more and really not a big deal. Check out this game review on this website, there is 2 videos one with the Physics card and one without. The one with the Physics card looks like the Physics is overdone.

    I am going to download Warmonger, which is based on Ageia's PhysX, over the next few weeks, I need to download over 2Gb of files and its downloading at like 30kb/s so it will be a while, but look on youtube for videos of Warmonger, thy physics look pretty cool. And they look good on GRAW 2 as well, it's a pity the game plays like crap though
