Grr. I've waited and waited until the time/money was right so I could begin ordering my new system (AMD FX-55, MSi K8N Neo2 Platinum, 1GHz OCZ EL Platinum Rev2 2-2-2-5, etc.).
So, I start looking around last week and this week, hoping to begin ordering things like my graphics card, only to discover that nobody has anything in stock! I wanted to buy either the Visiontek X800XT-PE or the Asus V9999 Ultra Deluxe (NOT the gamer's edition), but nobody has either of them in stock! (yes, I've checked Monarch, Zipzoomfly, GameVE, Newegg, BB, CompUSA, etc. etc. etc. etc.)
I really wanted to order today, because the motherboard I wanted just came back in stock at Newegg, but if I can't get the video card, I may as well wait and see if an NF4 board comes out soon, and whether the PCI-E versions of the cards I want become available.
Does anyone know what the heck's going on with the channel supplies? It's as though the manufacturers are having yield problems or can't source parts. Was there a chip fab fire somewhere or something?
