Shop around and you may find them a little cheaper at tigerdirect or fry's. Just remember to take into consideration whether or not you'll need to pay sales tax depending on your location vs. who you order from.
And be sure to match the model number. Zotac also makes a GT 430 PCIe version that looks almost exactly like the PCI version.
Thanks guys. Will the 430 (regardless of quantity) require a stronger PSU?
Big thank you goes out to F$ for the stick of RAM. It made a serious difference in terms of just using the computer when BOINC was running. Meaning I could have more then 2 tabs open with NFS/WUprop/FreeHal not sezing everything up.
Next step is one or two GPU's for this box.

I just scavenged a Dell desktop pc on the junkyard today. It has a P4 @ 3.06Ghz...I am guessing itīs this CPU:

Can that old beast run in your Dell? If yes Iīll ship it to you..

I have one of these cards in a Dell pc that had on board video card and no agp slot. It's a hyperthread enabled cpu. Between the vid card and cpu it does enough work to make it worthwhile. I have a pci slot open and another Zotac in the box. This may sound dumb but can I just plug the other card in and continue to march or is there more to it to get the extra card to crunch WU's?
