Thats true.I think the big name sites like new egg,tigerdirect,SVC.ext. should put a notice on the home page that tells us they are backed up, and how long the wait could be.

i'm a noob here, just found this site today.
i wish i had found it last week, as i'm in the middle of installing that ati all in wonder card my self !!
LOL ain't life grand !! i WOULD have bought that off ya,
had i found this site quicker.....hmmmmm.
any tips/ hints on installing that card?
btw--- what didn't you like about it? i am not into games very much, more video and pictures.
I had lots of problems.I got a VPU error all the time I change all my setting and drivers many many times but still got the error.I just sold the card 3 days ago.My buddy gave me 40bucks for it.He has had no problems with it.The ATI drivers conflict with the chip set on some motherboards.If you do a google for ATI problems you will find hundreds of pages with the same VPU error but no fix.I love my new 6800.
As for tips or tricks.Try the latest drivers,Use the ATI cleaner tool before installing new drivers.If you have a problem try the older drivers or the omega drivers.Go into your BIOS and change the 8x AGP to 4X and change your apeture size to 256 megebytes,if your card has 128MB. Do a search on this site for VPU and you will find some of my old posts.Good luck hope you like your new card.When the work right they are nice cards.
