The 8800 Ultra has been out of production for a while... the die was  
90 nm and at one time, cutting-edge, but it's been evolved and re- 
cycled, and the closest thing on the market now is the GTS 250 (die- 
shrunk, and tweaked direct descendant).  Here's a comparison:

A new GTS 250 1GB ranges in price from $140-160.
