I got my BFG 6800GT OC 2 days after ordering it from Directron.com. Works great. I really wanted to go PCI-e and get a new mobo too, but the available just sucked and I didn't want to wait. I know it sucks, but ATI and nVIDIA are doing the best they can. Their new lines all use the same GPU. It is just a difference in manufacturing quality that determines if the chip becomes an X700 or and X800, or a 6800GT or 6800 Ultra. The chips themselves are the same, design wise, and printing on the same silicon wafer. But only 2-3 out of a batch of god-knows-how-many can test well enough to become the top-of-line GPU's. We're at the mercy of physics, not the company(ies).
