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.
CUDA is not an architecture of the Nvidia card it's just their own API...ATI could run CUDA and Physx if ATI wanted to develop drivers for the cards.
