Check out Nvidias home page (http://www.nvidia.com/page/home.html), the DX10 page (http://www.nvidia.com/page/geforce8.html) and the 8800 page (http://www.nvidia.com/page/geforce_8800.html) for some nice animations and the obligatory rendering of pretty laydees.
It's SLI enabled, has a unified shader instead of the 7800 separate pixel & vertex shaders, Quantum effects tech (which allows physics, apparently) - wiki link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeForce_8_Series)
Prices in the US are $500 for the GTS and $650 for the GTX (that's about £350 and £475 over here at Scan.co.uk). Remarkably, they've launched and got product on the shelf, much better than the bad old days of 6 months between announcement and shipping. Still no word on the 8600.
Oh, and something about DX10 on vista (whatever that is)
