I've been looking through the forums and reading what I can, but I don't completely understand what the use of them is for? Is it just used to delegate which tasks are prioritised?

Can anyone let me know?

  That's a pretty anemic list for version 9. Will they add support for more cards?

  Well, what's the correct list then?
  
  I'm using an iMac 27" (late 2009) and would like to upgrade to a machine that can take advantage of OpenCL.
