Re: Hardware Digest, Vol 22, Issue 1

Unfortunately, the 8800 card is a little out of the price range, and
was reading on the CUDA dev site, that 8500 series cards are supported.

http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/1_0/CUDA_Release_Notes_win32_1.0.txt

will dnetc support this, or have I miss understood?
