In this era of sub $500 PC's, I think the graphics companies, and the fools that pay the price have lost their common sense!
Building or buying a top-of-the-line desktop computer has never been cheap. While prices for budget PCs seem to creep continuously lower (Dell advertises a $299 system, for crying out loud), they appear to be headed ever higher for top-performance models, with no upper limit in sight.
Sneak preview: a prototype board with NVidia's GeForce 7800 GTX chip.The high end reached new heights in June when NVidia announced that its next flagship graphics chip, the GeForce 7800 GTX, would grace cards selling for $600. Not $500, the previous "you've got to be kidding me" watermark, but $100 more. And if you're lucky enough to own a dual-card ready SLI motherboard, you can spend a cool $1200 to load up with two of these bad boys.
