If someone is wanting the fastest processing of CUDA units, the new GTX 295 boards were released a few days ago. A dual GPU board (essentially two 280's on a single board) with a whopping 480 cores processing in parallel and almost 2Gb of DDR3 memory! This board delivers 1.788 Teraflops of speed! Do two of them in SLI and nearly double that!

Or, if you want to get really extreme, install 4 of nVidia's Tesla C1060 boards into a single desktop pc and you now have a machine with 960 cores capable of an incredible 3.732 Teraflops (single precision). Yes, you'd essentially have a massively parallel supercomputer sitting on your desk.

....... 960 cores with just 2 x 295's.

Strange post.. sounds like you want to sell them ;)
And don't forget to mention the power supply requirements for several of these big cards, you could offer them in special budles!

And on a more serious side: the current ATIs have even higher TFlop ratings. It's just a petty that CUDA is not for them.
