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.) -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
