	I know that CUDA != Brooks in performance or some of the supported libraries. Yes, opencl will unify both standards and probably makes them obselete. For instance, it has been claimed that there is no SETI ATI because there is no FFT libraries in Brooks! So far the only projects I've seen to support both cards are Collatz and Milkyway. And Folding@home out of boinc. Where does GPU grid stand?

	i was reading a whitepaper from folding at home and it said that ATi's kernels cant scatter memory accesses between memory accesses between kernels and this leads to scaling of N^2/2 compared to nvidia with N^2. N being the number of molecules of course. they probably wont match nvidia's performance until they fix this.
