Then head to their site and I think they have new ones for that.. They 
aren't cheep LOL. Unfortunately for gamers.. they don't care about us 
anymore. Good cards though. I looked, $350 list for what you'd want. I 
know I spent too much on this one too.

I can't see tossing my agp motherboard yet. Its got a Athlon 64 3500 and 
dual channel mem on it and I need to work more than I game. The 6800GS 
will get use in the coming years on some machine in my house regardless 
what I'm using. I just can't see the kids using the power of this board 
and can't see replacing it.
