    I think the answer is no. Dual core processors have kind of overtaken it. In some of the new games coming out over the next few months, they devote one of the cores to physics. Also, I think some of the new gfx cards that will be coming out will be able to handle physics as well. I wouldn't bother with Physx if I were you. I don't even think there is much support for it.

    I have one, but the only reason I got it was because it was free. I can't really recommend it. The only things that I have that apparently use it are Ghost Recon and Joint Task Force. Ghost Recon looks the same but Joint Task Force is pretty cool looking with it.

    Save your money and buy a better graphics card
