Still, we don't know for sure, and have seen no proof... I wouldn't want to spend $215 bucks to be a guinea pig and be the first to test the theory. I'd like to know for sure what I'm buying before-hand.

I already have an AGP 6800GT and an AGP 6600GT in the house, so I'm not really in the market for one, but I'm curiously following the AGP 6800GS story for my fellow AGP users and friends. I'm anxiously awaiting the end-story myself on this card.

well, i am waiting too . . . and no, i don't feel like being a guinea pig . . . since the card is not available till midmonth, and other new cards will be coming [x1700] i don't feel bad waiting a bit . . . no games i am curently playing. . . .

i am guessing the cards cannot be modded into a 16 piper.

I agree that the 4 pipes needs to be very high percentage proposition, and in the end this be a 6800GT thinly disguised@sub $200 price point i.e. $199 or less. Otherwise this is perfume on a pig IMHO.

I just eat pork :) thanks for the laugh before i go to sleep :p
XBOX 360 dead... the family pet "the dog" bashed it good for unknow reason ... wait i think i was chasing him ;(
Right back@ya for the :laugh:

that dog is only protected my dad , mum and sister otherwise he would be history ! i want my $400 back> God damnit !!! he doesn't work and he doesn't do what i ask him to do and when he wants some attention he ends up breaking something that i love ;! last time he licked my ds but that was cleanable! he licks any object !

LOL!!!! This sounds just like how some parents feel about their jobless kids who don't listen to them and expect all the attention the parents posess leaving absolutely no time for themselves to enjoy even a simple cup of coffee in the morning. :D

Sorry for the OT, but as a father of two, it was just funny watching you describe most kids I know including my own. Wouldn't trade it for the world though. ;)
