on January 12, 2009 - 1:24 pm What was the price used to factor in the GTX 280? All the prices are listed on the last page except the 280? I'm just curious because I've seen them on sale recently for around $300.

on January 14, 2009 - 9:51 pm Yes, NVIDIA just recently cut the prices of GTX 280s. They're still the worst price-performance-wise, although they cost quite a bit less now.

on January 18, 2009 - 8:34 am Hi, Really appreciate your thoroughness; I have a question, hope it's O.K. to ask it here: How can I tell which card will fit in my pc? I have an Alienware/Area 51, full tower, Core 2Duo E6700, GeForce 7800GT, 700watt power and 2 GB DDR2 RAM--purchased 10/06. Can you direct me on this? Again, that's a clear assessment of the options and I found it quite helpful.. Robert S. Methuen, MA robbsey@gmail.com 4 - Posted by

on January 18, 2009 - 9:15 am Robert: Do you know what the motherboard is inside of the system? I would assume you're PCI-Express compatible, but could only be sure if I know what motherboard you're running on. The motherboard probably has its name etched into it big enough to be easily visible.
