Surfing the net and ran across this Nvidia 6800XT and to my surprise I see it listed not for 200 bucks and not for 100 bucks but for 97 dollars! 256bit card running at this price will not last long at all. For anyone looking for a pci-e card that needs has only a 100 dolalrs in their budget and wants to be able to play almost every game at high settings, then you better go out and grap this one while it last.

I know it's $40 more after rebate, but you gain an awful lot for $40.

I don't see anything spectacular at all about this, as a matter of fact I expected a (PCI-E) Geforce 6800XT to be much lower since the AGP 6800LE for a while now has been a card that can be had for few dollars shy of a $100.00 & the 6800XT/LE is not a card I'm eager to recommend.
There are much better affordable alternatives.

well I can't find a 256bit card for under 100 bucks. Most if not all in that price range are either 64bit or 128bit.
