Eight and a half million quid graphics card tips up

Bionic margin
Wed Nov 21 2007, 23:22

AN E-TAILER in Blighty is so certain that Ageia cards are going to sell like hotcakes, that it set the price that would make them filthy-rich, even if running a minimal, single-digit margin.

A picture speaks a thousand words:

Bargain!

If you were wondering, this board does not come with 256MB of GDDR3 memory, which was a trademark for this Taiwanese company, but rather classic, base-line 128MB GDDR3 memory clocked at 733 MHz DDR (1.46 GT/s).

It comes with Ghost Recon game. Now that's gotta be worth eight and a half million quid. µ

Errrm...

That's a Physx Physics Accelerator Card not a Graphics Card...

So much for the Ageia Price Cut

Inflation

The price has gone up now:

£ 8544600.00 INC VAT
£ 7272000.00 EX VAT

Sounds like a good business investment. Nine hours and it's already gone up 0.165%. A grand an hour? I could retire on that...

Boring .... It's a slow news day when INQ posts up a common price typo from an e-sellers site, especially one as unfunny as this.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
