Any reason why you want a physics card?  If no particular reason, you could eliminate it and save a few bucks.

I know that nvidia has released the ageia physx software to the 8800 fanily and up....I have 5 games now that I play with physx so just incase nvidia wants to use it as a new thing to make new games with in the future----- I will have it already thats the only reason.

Congrats!  Welcome to the family.  You'll be sharing bunk beds with EdH63 and Bill the Cat.  Tuesday is your day to do the dishes and the garbage goes out on Thursday.
