Huh???
8800GT's were as much as $275 when they came out man....theyve dropped a lot.
And this is pretty cheap i think:
Newegg.com - PNY VCG88512GXEB-FLB GeForce 8800 GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards
Newegg.com - Recertified: EVGA 512-P3-N801-RX GeForce 8800 GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card
tip:
buy used.
I only bought one new, the other two i got used for $90 and $80.

newegg ca did have the pny in the first link for the same price.

man had a crazy error that kept me from folding on my main rig for about a day.
I just fixed it, it was a permission error. I lost a few thousand points, but its fixed now.
Oh and guess what guys...the new fahcore is increasing ppd by 500 or more!!!
Im now getting 5529ppd on my main rig 8800GT!!!
Im just testing it out, but if its 100% stable then ill throw it onto my folding rig....and ill be pushing 16,500ppd. If you guys wanna beta test it early like me, feel free to do so. All you need to go is open up your application data folder, find the folding@home gpu folder.
Inside youll see several files, delete the one named "fahcore11". Make sure you do this when the application is closed and shut down. At the start of a new wu it will automatically download the latest core, v1.15 which does stress the card a bit more, and increase ppd.
