Well, if you're not gonna do anything with it, then of course not :p. But if you wanted to upgrade to PCI-E, it would be a great opportunity.

When I first seen the price point for the 9800gt/OC, they were around the $170+.

Now they are at the 150/160.

BTW, there is 3 units that I see
BFGE98512GTOCXFE 680/2000 [Memory Bandwidth+5GB/s, Texture Fill Rate +3Billion/sec] gain from base GT/OC
BFGE98512GTOC2FE 650/1926

BFGE98512GTOCPE 635/1850

It'd be about a break even now if I was to sell the 7800 and add the same $50

Not even worth the trouble if it's not gonna be the 9800GTOC X model.

I was thinking of saving alot of money[video card wise] if I ended up "have to" move to PCI-e, but...................................:laugh:
