You'll probably have to sell your left nut to afford one....<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

It's late here, but if I recall correctly from the reviews, the list
price of the Ultra will be $499 and the list price of the non-Ultra
will be $299 at retail release. Ultra memory as shipped is 256Meg,
I believe, although the NV40 can handle 512Meg. The memory
size on the non-Ultra is currently not revealed.

I paid $250 for my first Voodoo1 card.

My.....haven't we come on a bit in graphics acceleration since then !

I still remember the TNT days. I've never done an upgrade before
where I've changed cards only after three months -- this might be the
first time. While I'm pleased with the average performance on my
5900XT, 6800 non-Ultra sure is cooking in the back of my head like a
sparky chilli. I just hope that this time nVidia won't fool the
consumer eyes with too many cut downs, massive hype advertising based
on numbers like with the previous line-up. Twelve pipes against the
16 and slightly reduced memory specs I can live with, but any more
changes to the regular 6800 I can't accept. The regular 6800 might be
the consumer's new queen card if the price is kept within 200-300
dollar/euro range. With the Ultra model would come a monitor upgrade
(19 to 21 inch), since there isn't a resolution the Ultra can't handle
in any of the released games. I just hope that I can live with my
400w Quiet Technology power supply that has been pleasing to the ears.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Best Buy's website has the Ultra priced as: "1 left nut minus a $40 mail-in
rebate."

I'm betting that one could stay on the cutting edge of graphics
acceleration by always buying a new card as soon as they come out, then
sell your old one on eBay. It would make that $500 graphics card a $300
graphics card if you can get $200 for your old one that might now be
retailing for $279.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
