But you said $199 is too much. Isn't the MB free when you buy the 7800GT
card?

The MB is only "free" if you buy the 7800GT package that costs $150 more
than usual...

"War is the continuation of politics by other means.
It can therefore be said that politics is war without
bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed."
