Some of these prices are rediculous. I got my Audig 2 ZS for $49.99
that's not an audigy 2 zs card, it's the new x-fi

great,but it doesn't utalize the full memory bus speed of that motherboard (ddr2 800). they are backwards compatible but then those extra serial lines would get lonely
not only is the memory i posted backed by corsair, but it can handle slightly higher voltages for overclocking.Quote
And you can certainly find the video card for cheaper.
no doubt, but i can assure you dell's video card doesn't cost $600, just so you can get an idea of cost:performance. even if you ended up buying a graphics card that was $200-300 cheaper, you would still have a nice card.
when it comes to computers, you really shouldn't be stingy with the prices. have an idea of what you want but don't try to save that $30 by buying some generic brand part. you most definately pay for what you get in electronics. i see lots of people buying those $20 power supplies and $60 cases and the power supplies die the next day and the cases fall apart whenever they sneeze.
I completly agree there.
One of my friends build a computer about 2 months ago, he really got the cheapest stuff out there, it made a quite good PC but a few weeks ago his processor, mother board and VGA all died. His powersupply seemed to have caused the problem.
But i wouldn't go out there and buy a the most expensive video card.
