I imagine that the GPU based CPU would start to falter when hit with programs that use harder math

Your right, thats because GPUs anrt designed for the work, but just thinking about the concept really makes my change my opinion of AMD. Here i thought that they were going to go down the tubes, but after thinking about how they have ati now, with gpu super processors... they now have the 2nd best of both worlds, put them together and you'll have very affordable super computing... of course the "need" for the average user to have even a portion of what this "potential" has to offer is way way way in the future... But its exciting none the less. Imagine encoding video with a gpu instead of the cpu... something that a stream processor is really quite suited for... i mean i'm getting almost 400 fps encoding with divx with my quad, imagine what 128 stream processors could do :D i dont think they make fast enough hard drives... hehe
