If you imagine the most delicious jam in the world--made from ambrosia, beautiful strawberries, and hand-stirred by Oompa-Loompas--it would probably taste like a GeForce 8800 GT. The GeForce 8800 GT's $199-$259 estimated price slots the card between the GeForce 8800 GTS and the GeForce 8600 GTS on the price scale, but the GT's exceptional 3D processing power places it closer to the GeForce 8800 GTX in performance. Initial 512MB cards such as our XFX GeForce 8800 GT will retail closer to the $249 mark, but several card manufacturers will also release GeForce 8800 GT cards with 256MB of memory to hit the lower $199 price point in the coming weeks. Also, expect manufacturers to venture into the $275-$300 range by offering preoverclocked 512MB GeForce 8800 GTs.  PC owners won't have any trouble fitting the single-slot XFX GeForce 8800 GT into their systems. You just find an open PCI Express graphics slot and slide the card inside. However, like most modern video cards, the XFX requires an additional 6-pin power cable from the system power supply. XFX recommends using a 500W power supply for single-card systems and 600W or more for a dual-card SLI system.</blockquote>
