Whle we are on the CUDA topic... Assume I want to play with CUDA (no
problem with proprietary drivers). I just got a quote for GTX680 for
ILS2820. If I don't need absolutely peak performance but I don't want
to be stuck with "older" ways to write code, could you recommend other
options that will be cheaper?

Thanks,
