 Look in the recent Creative Computers add. It lists a 48 megger for the 
500 for only $400. If money isnt your limiting factor I hear golem is 
bringing one to the US that can achieve 850k/sec, or around there anyways. 
I don't think it was supposed to be expensive at all, just I haven't heard 
when its available.
