Thats the MX version. I think I will wait for the Ultra to come out and get 2 of them.

And now -- we wait for ATi to issue their "No, ours is better!!" product

I'll count up whats in the penny jar and see if I have enough to get one.

eh... what? Where did gwn.com get there sources from. I looked up the article on Nvidias main site and no where does it mention this thing is for gaming. I also watched the siggraph vids linked down the bottom and it shows the nvidia guy demonstrating the quadro plex, again, nowhere does he even mention anything to do with gaming. Aren't the Quadros primarily used for rendering and openGL, whereas the majority of games now use directx. It certainly isn't future proofing for the next century?

What was also mentioned in the siggraph '06 videos was this beast.

In terms of gaming, the chips are equal to a 7900gt. But they are great for rendering.

Thats because they were joking for maximum impact, much like the OP of this thread...
