Is AGEIA Hiding Something?

What if I told you that most of what the tech press thinks they know about Ageia and the PhysX PPU is completely wrong? What if I told you that there’s more to PhysX than physics? And what if I said that there exists a grand unified theory of stream computing and the high-performance computing (HPC) market that’s simple and perhaps even a bit obvious, but it makes sense of all the stream-computing-related press releases from NVIDIA, AMD/ATI, Ageia, Peakstream, and others that have been coming down the wire in past year?

Their conclusion is that AGEIAs ultimate goal is to conquer the HPC market, but are using the gaming side of things to kickstart things, including their bank account. Sounds reasonable enough.
