its been awhile, was wondering if anyone has any info regarding whether or not that this card is available to order? Last I heard that it was only available as an option with the new powermacs...

Nope, still only a built to order option. I think the X800's will over-clock to X850 speeds with no problem, but there is only a 10% difference anyway. Its looking like these are going to be the best cards we're ever gonna get for the AGP G5. Wednesday (or tomorrow) they will be introducing PCI Express G5's and that will probably end the AGP card releases for the Mac.

Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
