6800LE supplier

Has anyone found this supposed OEM card for sale anywhere yet? The rumored $200 for this card would be pretty sweet!

I'd wait for an AGP 6600GT.

After learning about the PCIe 6600GT, I was really excited, except for the waiting for an AGP part which may only happen by the holidays, and my ti4200 is getting old NOW

Plus, I was wondering if there would be a performance hit depending on how they made the AGP 6600? Some article I read makes it sounds like they're going to bridge the PCIe part (which has a bridge built into the chip package) back to AGP with another bridge.

Yeah, they're using the same bridge that they used on the PCI-E 6800 cards, and the performance hit was nearly nil. I wouldn't worry about the bridge being a bottleneck.
