Woah, woah, woah. So they were conspiring because while their GPUs have quadrupled in price. It was Intel CPU's that had decreased 50% in value? That makes no sense because AMD CPU's are much cheaper. Unless of course AMD has just been pricing their CPU's competitively.
Guess some money is better then no money and since when did Intel start producing GPUs?
The 8800gs is good, epically when they are going for $69. But I still think that the 4850, which is only slightly behind the 3870x2 and 8800ultra at STOCK, is the king of bang/buck.
