My trusty 6800GT bit the dust yesterday, twas a very sad. If only nvidia had released the GTX 280 in time instead of delaying it for 6 months....the GT might still be here today enjoying life, DAMN YOU NVIDIA!

j/k :p

Great card, cost me $550 AUD and lasted 4 years. Have now replaced it with an agp MSI 7600GT as I intend to keep this machine as a media center. The most annoying thing is that for a couple of bucks more I could have gotten a 9600GT which is exponentially more powerful and can actually play modern games at very good frames. How people complain that gaming PC's are unaffordable is beyond me.

Funny how obsolete components become more expensive than the modern versions.
 
I put my 6800GT in my wife's computer about 3 years ago. It's still going strong.

Hopefully it will last a few more years or at least until the GTX280's come out so I can give her my 9800GTX and buy the latest and greatest..
