Frys has the xfx 8800gts on sale today for $139.99. Newegg no longer has this card to compare, but what are your thoughts with it's specs:

That is the older and original GTS. Meaning it is substantially slower then the newer G92 revivsion GTS, and even slower then the 8800GT. You can get an 8800GT for $130 off of newegg and it will show better performance then the G90 8800GTS and only takes up 1 slot (It runs cooler).
Thanks for you prompt reply. I currently have an evga 9600GT and is my current vid card better than that older xfx? This is my card. »www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a···14130371
No. It performs slower in most cases when compared even to the older G90 GTS. However, this should not prompt you to purchase the 8800 GTS on sale at fry's. As I said, you can pickup an 8800GT for only $115 on newegg - Or spend 50 bucks more and get a 4850.
