PPU cards like AGEIA PhysX...
i may be wrong but they are too expensive for what they are bringing for the moment. they will prolly get better but multi CPU-core and GPU based physics engines will prolly kill them before their popularity explosion.

I don't see a reason why we need PPU cards when upcoming GPU's shader models can pretty much do the same.
How could you forget the Amiga AAA Chipset?

Well, AGEIA may not be doomed as much as you think. Since they were the first to start they may have built up a nice patent portfolio. If the chip business does not work out they could license their IP and software, ideally recovering their investment.
I once (2001?!) received a 64k-Preview by Hellfire^HJB called Stream (if i remember correctly). It had AWESOME realtime procedural fog in it.
