From the forum discussion, someone mentioned that a Core2Quad extreme would need about 2 months (running 24/7) to factor the key. I don't know if there's anyone out there that's written a CUDA version, but a GTX295 should be able to run at at least 10x the speed of the CPU, if not something like 20-30x; that means if there are any other keys that need cracking (like for the TI-86 firmware), it could be done in a much shorter amount of time (probably less than a day for someone with a multi-GPU rig).

Also: "The sieving database was 4.9 gigabytes and contained just over 51 million relations. - During the "filtering" phase, Msieve was using about 2.5 gigabytes of RAM. - The final processing involved finding the null space of a 5.4 million x 5.4 million matrix."
