I have two nvidia 8600gt's (256MB pci-e x16) that could use a good home.<br>
<br>
They can either drive 4 monitors acceptably, or one fairly quickly (in<br>
an sli rig). �They are is should be noted about half as fast a geforce<br>
gts 250 which is currently a ~$140 item, but they do have the<br>
distinction of being the fastest 8xxx cards that can draw all their<br>
power from pci-e slots, and or require a 2 slot cooler. I estimate them<br>
together at under 100watts.<br>
<br>
if they represent an upgrade to someone I'll leave them at NB the next<br>
time I'm in the city.<br>
