Hi,

I've just be pricing up a couple of G5 systems and have a query about the price of Nvidia 6800GT video cards.

When I selected the single G5 1.8 base system I can upgrade to the 6800GT video card for £279.00.

If I select the dual G5 1.8 system and upgrade to the 6800GT card, the price for the card is £309.00.

So my question is why is there a £30 difference for what appears to be the same video card in two different machines? I could kind of understand it if the card had been more expensive in the cheaper mac, but not the other way round. Or am I missing something obvious? It doesn't seem to affect the other video cards on offer.

Hope someone can offer some advice.

Thanks in advance,

Matthew
