    x800xt pe / 6800Ultra availability

    I am afraid I have registerd to pester you with questions born from a lack of knowledge. So ah..sorry about that. Anyway if anyone could be bothered to answer this it would be much appreciated.

    I am looking to get a new graphics card - before half life 2 hits. I want go with a top of the line option and decided upon the 6800 Ultra. However everywhere I look its not in stock and is pre order; is the card out over here yet? I thought that I would settle for the x800xt pe but I can't seem to find that in stock either. My question is this; are these cards available over here yet? Are they just hard to come by? If I ordered a "pre-order" 6800Ultra how long do you think I would have to wait? Admittedly I could of fired off a few emails to companies, but they never seem to give the same / a straight answer, thanks for any help you can provide.

    Im thinking of selling my 6800 ultra. Reason being I want to move to a LGA775 for christmas but I won't sell for anything less than I paid for it and it still has 12 months warranty. Its a shame there is no evga in the uk because you can use the step up program to get a better card by only paying the difference.

    I can't believe you still can't get these cards in large numbers. It seems months ago now that I got my X800XT-PE, mainly because it was.

    What the hell is going on?

    I contacted BFG, and was told that the 6800 ultras were not in stock at the maufatures warehouse, also that oem builders get the priority shipments...

    The 6800 ultras could become a Coilectors Edition card if they dont make many more of them.

    I've been looking since May for a x800xt pe. Placed orders with a couple of companies who claimed they had it in stock - turned out to be false. After waiting for weeks with one company I cancelled.

    Looked most days on the Komplett site - never seen one in stock.

    Just a friendly note lads: this is not Wanter or For Sale; not the place to flog your cards.
