Can I buy the 8800 GT card for the Mac Pro if I choose to purchase the default configuration today? My work lets me get a discount at the local Apple Store, but they only carry the lowest end Mac Pro (2700 ish) and the highest (4700 ish) . Since the upper is out of my price range and the only real upgrade that I would need soon is the video card, I just need to know if it can be purchased separately from Apple or from a 3rd party.

Yes, the 8800 GT card is available from the Apple Store.

The one bad thing about purchasing the video card kit, is that it is not covered under applecare if you chose to get AC.

If your company has a deal with Apple, you should be able to order via the Apple online store through the corporate purchase program.

Thanks. I found the card on Apples site...wow 319 for a 200 option if you buy one pre-configured. I guess that means I just bite the bullet and get the card installed.

When I asked if they had the 8800GT at the Soho store, I was told that I have to order it online. So, don't waste your time going to a brick and mortar Apple Store.
