You're seeing 8800GTs for $100?????? I am BLIND or...... I have a 7900GS and I love it. I'm getting about another 20 fps out of it, so maybe your processor is holding you back. If so, you'll be a bit disappointed at the increase in speed with a new card. You can see above that the 8600GT is so much the same speed as the 7900GS you couldn't separate them without counting the remnants of your wallet.
Personally, I'm happy as a clam with the 7900GS once I get it troubleshot and probably replaced by EVGA. It heats up and shuts down my whole machine. Right now I'm using my backup 7600GT. It still runs fine!
But you know, a $100 8800GT would be so tempting that I don't know if I could resist.
