Well, I'm waiting to a make a build in January, Nvidia would be smart to release it around the launch of Intel's new quad-cores. I just hope that they do something about pricing... graphics cards are almost always the most expensive piece in the system. An 8800GT being equal to, or more expensive than a Q6600 doesn't make any sense to me at all. Graphics cards need to have a $300 cap for ultimate performance, I mean, $700-$800 for the Ultras when they first came out was ridiculous
As for D9E and D9P, those are probably codenames, like R600 and G92
