I just ordered a new computer with PCI Express video. I want a Radeon x800 card, but I can't seem to find any place that sells the x800 for PCI Express (not even ATI's website); everything is AGP. Are these cards not shipping yet? The computer I ordered is coming with an x300, I want to replace that as soon as possible but can't find a suitable PCIe card. Suggestions?

you can buy a dell dimension xps with an x800 pci-e. that's about the only place i've seen it. my butthole friend orders dell's for his company and swaps out video cards all the time. bastard!

Thank you everyone for your help. I found this article http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/ati_x800_x600_xt/ which says that ATI is shipping its boards to OEM first then retail later on. This explains why Dell is offering the x800 but I can't find the board by itself.

I did find a bunch of places with the x600xt so I ordered one of those. It's not really what I want but it's got to be a ton better than than the x300se. Later on I'll get something like an x800, but at least for starters I'll have something decent.
