That's actually the third-cheapest PCI-Express card you can buy! The only cheaper ones are the TurboCache version of the 6200 (which isn't really ideal for a server, given its memory thieving tendancies), and a PCI-Express version of the GeForce 4 MX (which I strongly suspect is an OEM-only card, given that I've never seen it for sale).

I take it the new Death Star is operational as per spec? The board is nice and fast now

Don't get TOO excited. I have to install the serial port cable for the UPS monitoring software, so I'll have to shut the server down for a few minutes later tonight sometime. But for now, have fun. BTW, the search function should be working again.

The board definitely seems to be a bit snappier. w00t.

OK, I installed the serial port connector, so now I have UPS monitoring. That should be it for major disruptions, at least for a little while.
