Vincent, it may be possible that some of us on this list may in fact be 
bound by NDA (non-disclosure agreements), and cannot talk about hardware 
which has not been announced.

Hmmm .... www.nvidia.com/cuda is a good starting point.

I might suggest http://www.nvidia.com/object/cuda_what_is.html as a 
start on information.  More to the point, you can look at 
http://www.nvidia.com/object/cuda_develop.html
