Haha, i've searched them all but nothing is really thorough. What percentage of the course is the same? 80%? 90%?

It's essentially the same, but matrices and calculus are slightly harder in CAS, and I guess harder questions in the calc paper due to the CAS abilities.

I wonder what will come of the VCE Maths Exams in say 30 years time, when calculators are super-computers that can compute anything that exists in the real and imaginary (lol) world. Just a random trail of imagination...:p

Is this even relevant anymore?
I thought from now on you can only do CAS anyway?

Yes.  Only the CAS course exists now.  2009 was last year for the non-CAS course.  It's now happy in retirement.
