"these things are not going to be cheap or cool

The Stream processor comes on a 16x PCI Express board with 1 Gbyte GDDR3 memory. It costs about $2,600 and dissipates 165W on average.

Right now Stream is really only for research, enterprise, servers, etc. The cost for the card is way too expensive for a gaming system, and I don't think it's particularly well suited for gaming anyways. I think next year at some point we may see this technology in consumer cards and it'll benefit us gamers, but for now, set your eye on one of those shiny new 8800's.]]>Nov 15th 2006 2:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/14/amd-stream-processor-launched-uses-gpu-power-for-general-tasks/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/14/amd-stream-processor-launched-uses-gpu-power-for-general-tasks/

And then think, "SWEET!"?
