I think a lot of people including myself, big Sam and Fr3ak are now awaiting the 8XXX midrange series. I think I might go for the 8300GS or 8400GS and try and find some with GDDR3, they are bound to be bandwidth limited on DDR2. Searching out the gems is half the fun at this level.

I need another motherboard as well as my EVGA died , can't RMA it as it was my dodgy VDIMM mod that killed it

Luckily it looks like Oskar Woo has timed it's demise well and might a nice 680i board for me to buy soon.

air cooled X6800 @4Ghz
DFI 680
air cooled 8300GS SLI with gpu mods
The coldest April in living memory thanks to Global Cooling.

Sounds like an A-team style plan
