Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

You won't see pci-express 6800 cards until August or September earliest IMO. SLI is only available for PCI-express versions, not AGP, but all PCI-express versions of the 6800 will have SLI.
If you need something right now to hold you over, you can get this:
Gigabyte GeForce PCX 5750 $133

Which PC did you get?
I'm actually building the machine myself. So I didn't get it from Alienware or Falcon Northwest or anything of the sort. As far as the the mobo goes I'm waiting for a mobo that supports dual PCIe x16 slots and a 1066 MHz FSB (So I'll probably buy a board before this becomes a reality, but I can dream) before I put the machine together. I'm gathering the parts right now (P4 3.6 GHz LGA-775, 1 GB DDR2, 250 GB Matrox SATA HDD, Audigy2 ZS, and Video Card yet to be determined)

did alienware and dell and falcon companies get all these new pci express vid cards before everybody else. because my system ships this thursday and its a dell xps gen 3. and it has a new x800xt pci express vid card. but the x800xt pci express isnt available to buy just by itself

Right on!!! And... Sorry to say but I suspect Intel users will be left in the cold on the PCI-E x16 dual slot config for a while at least, where as 939 AMD users should be good to go down the road for dual PCI-E x16 based on the fact that nVidia develops core logic for the A64 and they would be stupid not to provide a dual PCI-E x16 solution to pimp their vid cards and SLI. But of course this is speculation.

thanxs, ill post some benchmarks when i get it. ive been waiting like a month for them to ship it and build it. mainly because they had to probably wait for the new mobo and video card.RAutrey said:Damn Chuck... That's a monster rig... Give us some benchies when you get it

If you are waiting for a 1066 Mhz MB, why are you gathering parts already? By the time the new chipsets are out, there will be new processors, and prices on everything will have come down. (so you will have "new" old slower parts that have just sat around waiting for your MB)
Either just get what is available now (and use it) or save your pennies and get it all later. Getting parts now and having them sit seems silly to me.

2. I went with Intel because I get them at cost
3. I have an 80 GB HDD that I'll be throwing in there too.
4. Everything but the mobo and video card is in hand.
And Lazn I will be getting a mobo without 1066 FSB, because like you I don't see the point in having the hardware and waiting for a mobo that may be 6 months down the line.
EDIT: Of course I still can't find a 6800GT PCI Express card.
