i guess if you need a pci card than this is cool but it isnt worth much more than the shipping these days. you can get gpu's for very little.

What makes you think 3d fusion would honor the rebate for sure? You could end up paying as much as you would for an 8400Gs.

Don't forget that this card has special time warp abilities. It can be fast in 1999!

There are really still people using systems with PCI video cards? And they want to upgrade those systems? I think the last PCI card I owned was a Rage Fury Pro VIVO 32 meg.

#3,you've got to be kidding me! Walmart is still selling legacy Pci cards for a little over 70 bucks a piece.

If you need to hook up 3 or 4 monitors to one machine, then a PCI card is the ticket. Trading setups for instance.

they just changed the price around 10:30 am.. so the deal is no longer good.

#6, maybe, but Wally World would still sell Commodore Vic 20s if they could get 'em.

Just FYI that I received rebate check within 3 months for another GeForce card bought from frys.

Man, just give them away. These large rebates are stupid.

#3, I think PCI video cards are used mainly for those that want 3 or 4 monitor setups. With a PCI-e card, you can only get a dual monitor setup. I still have some PCI video cards from the old days, but I haven't used them since '03 or '04 when I had 3 monitors going. Boy, did I think I was cool! Little did I know...

If you could actually get this for free, it'd be nice to have laying around in case your current card went south and had to throw a PCI card in til you replaced your card... nice little troubleshooting/quick fix item.

Bingo #15, or it's a nice way to reuse some old motherboard to turn a system into a NAS or fileserver,etc, where it's headless and all you really want is a passive lowest power consuming card reasonably (cheaply) possible. Leave the video at 800x600 @ 8 BPP since that substantially cuts down on PCI traffic and Bob's yer uncle.

PCI cards usially for servers mb. Dell, for example has no pci-e slot for any server configuration.

Six bones, geez, I remember almost buying a similar card like two years ago for much more

Price went up to $21 delivered AR, so it's no loss that it sold out.
