So according to the [H] review of the 8800GT, now the 8800GTS will also have 112 stream processors up from the original 96. Does anybody know if this will be a firmware update available for owners of existing 8800GTS cards, or if it'll just be for new cards sold from this point on?

Look at the bottom of the page.
In particular: "5 HD DVD / Blu-ray Video Playback on NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB and 8800 GT is classified as Excellent. HD DVD / Blu-ray Video Playback on NVIDIA GeForce 8800 Ultra, GeForce 8800 GTX and GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB/640MB are classified as Good."
Is there plans for a 512MB version of the GTS? Looks like they are describing a card with similar playback as the new 8800gt and the 8600 series...

I read somewhere that the Stream Processors are laser cut..... so it might be impossible to unlock them.
