One little problem with that, no biggie though. Havok was bought by Intel, not made by them. Originally they were their own company.

Anyway, just get a PPU, they can be found pretty cheap now. I'd recommend getting a high-end nVidia GPU myself, but if you already have a high-end ATi then you probably will not want to fork out the additional cash.

EDIT: Oh and ATi is also looking into using OpenCL as a physics solution which nVidia is as well.

PS. ATi could not use the existing version of PhysX as it uses CUDA, an nVidia exclusive architecture.
