good value?

hey guys I have been looking for a gpu for my back up pc( AMD X2 6000, 2 gigs ddr2 800, 19" ws @ 1440x900 Asus M3A78-CM) I found this at my local shop ASUS 8800gs $46.99 after mir. It will be used for steam based games such as HL2 Day of defeat source diablo2.

Is there anything bad about the card?

TIA

A 9600 GT can usually be found online for around $60 after MIR and would be around 13% faster at that resolution.

i guess the one thing I forgot to mention is that I am in Canada. There are no 9600gts under $100 here.

nope, that 8800gs should be fine for those games at that res, at a reasonable price, go for it.
