8800 gtx price differnece?

[Dandred]

Could someone tell me why there is such a big price difference in the top two cards in this link ? http://froogle.google.com/froogle?q=...oogle&ct=title

They are both the same card and seem to have identical specs

OK. So why do two cards cost 100 dollars more than 1?

Did you mean two processors on the card?

Or one card you can SLI the other you can't? Or you get two cards for 741 dollars and 1 for 643?

It does NOT have 2 cards. Best buy has crap prices, thats why. You should buy the 8800gtx from newegg.com

Edit: I would get this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130072

Just agreeing with this post. All 8800gtx's are capable of running in SLI (two cards running in tandem), but there are no "packs" of two cards on that page, and honestly I haven't seen an SLI pack in retail... just preinstalled on pre-made computers. If you want an 8800gtx, go with that eVGA one from Newegg

this is wrong. One is SLI ready and the other one is not SLI ready

Every 8800gtx is SLI-ready, just for some reason that feature was omitted in the write-up of one of em
