He was asking about the new 8800GT 
(http://www.tomshardware.com/2007/10/29/geforce_8800_gt/), which is only 
around $200. It's also not as fast or as power-hungry as the other 8800 
family members. And I must correct my earlier post; the 8800GT DOES 
include hardware HD decoding, unlike the older 8800 cards. (I suspect 
that means we will see the rest of the 8800 line get an update soon.)
