NVidia Branded 8800GT for Macs Available at a Steep Premium

The price of the new 8800GT probably won’t make any MacFans (don’t get upset guys, I am really with you on this one) decide not to buy Macs, but it sure as hell is going to make them angry. The premium on the video card is up to $100 depending on which respectably branded PC model you choose. This is just bad publicity for Apple, I get that they have great quality control, but where is this mysterious extra $100 of value; don’t tell me it is in the drivers. Apple gear is always going to be more expensive, you are paying for quality, marketing and brand, when those price-hikes extend to third-party equipment, however, you have to ask what is going on. Price: $279
