You're kidding. Seriously, i wouldn't believe it unless i saw it with my own eyes, and asked a salesperson if it really was 40 dollars. I mean, the FX 5200 costs 60 at the cheapest possible store.

It seems unlikely that there would be a FX5800 for $40, that is very low. Even though nVidia has discontinued the line, I think that such a low price was an odity in one store. I don't discredit Ocean but when I contacted Walmart about this deal they did not even have a record of stocking the Geforce 5800 in any of their stores.
