Video card help please.

Hi,

I am going to be researching for my professor next quarter using Cuda. So I really want to get the best valued card out there.

I did some research and found out that the Fermi 300 series for NVIDIA is coming next year.

My question is: Currently at Frys, GT 220 is up for grabs about $50 after rebate. Is this a good deal? As long as it has CUDA, I'm happy cause I'm going to get the Fermi anyway, but I need to start learning CUDA now.

Thank you for your time and input

Yes, good deal.

Gt 2200?...really? Isnt that like for a basic 2d buget desktop?
IMO You should get 260 or 240 for gods sake.
Makes good card for physX or second build.
But dell board has to go to.Is it pciex 1.0 or 2.0?

I got it already. It is running Cuda perfectly without any issues in CentOS/Windows 7. Thank you for your responses.
