eVGA says no ETA for AGP 6600 GT?

[mdahc]

I emailed eVGA's customer service a couple of days ago and asked for an ETA on their AGP version of the Geforce 6600 GT, and they said there's currently no ETA and to keep checking their website. What do you thinks this means (any chance of an end of November/before Xmas release)?

Yes there is a chance bro. Check out this thread:

I posted 2 links of two US online retailer that advertise they have AGP version available. Hope this helps you .

Thanks. Yeah, I saw that post about the XFX model. However, I was looking to get one that includes an HDTV component output cable. So far, only eVGA, Chaintech, Leadtek, and Aopen have put out PCIe variants that include the cable. So this makes me think XFX won't include the cable with their AGP version either.

Anywho, seeing how eVGA is usually earlier to market than Chaintech and Leadtek (screw Aopen), I figured their reply would be a strong indicator of what's to come.

At this point, I think I might just get the Gigabyte K8NXP-9 with a PCIe 6600 GT and call it a day (assuming it's released in the U.S. before Xmas). From the looks of it, nForce4 Ultra boards might come out around the same time if not earlier than AGP 6600 GT.

Thanks again.
