We have a link up to the HowVideoCardsWork on the front page of the
wiki and there is some work mooted on understanding video hardware
from a beginners point of view (see IRC logs
http://lattice.u-strasbg.fr/irclogs/nouveau-2007-05-04).

It would be good to compliment this with information on "Nvidia
Architecture", sounds like a research project?
