8800GS worth it?

[macjakob]

Hey,

I'm thinking of buying the 24" iMac 2.8GHz, but I don't know whether I should pay the extra to get the 8800 card.

Is there much difference from the 2600 Pro card?

Please reply fast as I can't wait to get to the store!

Thanks,

Jakob

Its about twice as fast as the 2600. Worth the $150 IMO.

I got the 8800 card in my iMac and its cool, though I've only played one game so far (Colin Mcrea Rally Mac).
