Yup, its expensive, because so few people buy them. The fact that it is an AGP card doesn't help either as it is no longer the standard. You might find one slightly cheaper on eBay, but you have to watch out for cards that are flashed and not the real deal. The real differences is that PC users are more likely to upgrade the graphics card in their machine during it's lifetime, which creates a cheap second hand market.
