NVIDIA quietly releases Geforce 7100 series.
NVIDIA has quietly released the current lowest member of the Geforce 7 series- the 7100 series. The 7100GS is designed for a budget-minded consumer. The card is very similar to the 7300LE. Both cards have four pixel shaders, and have 64-bit DDR2 memory clocked at 600MHz. However, while the 7300LE ships with a core clock of 450MHZ, the 7100GS has a core clock of 350MHz, leaving a total pixel fill rate of 1,400 million pixels per second. The chip can process 263 vertices per second. The 7100GS ships with one DVI and one D-Sub connector, and is SLI compatible. PixelView is currently manufactering the 7100GS with 128MB of memory, but TurboCache technology can allow for 512MB video memory. Sparkle and Inno3D also announced launching similar products.

But seriously, if this is priced right it might be nice for home built serves and things like that, that don't need a lot of graphical power. Heck the 7300LE is already down in the $45 range, if this is say in the $35 range I might pick one up just to have a spare PCI-E card laying around.
