NVidia 6800 for €170 more than an X300SE?

Dell aren't reknown for doing good prices on gfx upgrades, but check this out:

In case that link doesn't work, the Dimension 5000 has an upgrade price of €169 to go from a lowly Radeon X300SE to a monster 256MB Geforce 6800. Seems very cheap to me, whole thing with a 3Ghz p4 comes in under a grand if you knock off the worthless extended warranty (except for laptops.. ).

Yeah but if you add the price of the X300SE onto the Nvidia 6800 doesnt it work out the same money?

Obviously you cant just buy the Nvidia6800 outright from dell for €170 can you?

...that's why I posted the links to Jes.de...
R300SE = €69
N6800 = €329

Saving us almost a ton on the transaction..

Still surprised Dell are not making a load of markup on these is all.

Yeah your right some mark up on it.

cheers
