Some may rag on the 8800GT since it doesn’t have DX10.1 support but until we know of a game that’s worth buying which supports 10.1, We certainly wouldn’t worry to much about it and at this point would far from consider it to be a deal-breaker at all.

There are online merchants who already have product for sale, for example, ZipZoomFly has one right now for $279 – no matter how you stack it, the 8800GT is one great buy. Look for a full review once we get a boxed retail unit from one of the leading add-in board makers.
