Yeah, I have my eye on this card too.  It performs better than 2 Radeon X1950 XTs running CrossFire....pretty amazing.  A good article with full specs here:

Looking at the preliminary test results for the new nvidia 8800gtx I would be very tempted by that, even if its not quadro. Seems like a monster of a card, and will be interesting to find out how it performs with 3d apps, or non-windows software...
