I'd like to get the NVIDIA 6800 but all the retailers here sell it for PCI Express only... and the only PCI Express mobos they sell are Intel... is AMD out of the game in the near future??
No announcement yet.
PCI Express and AMD motherboards.. will it ever happen?

But as AMD_Lover said, AMD PCI-E motherboards should be available very soon, assuming they aren't as I type this.

I wouldn't worry about PCI-E vs. AGP. There's no performance difference now and won't be for some time. You can overclock the cards just as well (provided you have the same temperatures, but OCing is never a guaranteed thing anyway), and you wouldn't want to overclock the AGP or PCI-E bus anyway (unless you like stability problems or permanent damage).

Hello,
I have had my original Slot A, Abit Athlon 800 O'cd for over four years,24/7; sometimes brutally so. The PCI and AGP bus' are up also, corresponding to the FSB. when so you suppose I am going to experience "permanent" damage?
thank you

It depends how far they are up. If your board has no PCI/AGP lock and you're forced to overclock the AGP and PCI buses along with FSB, then it's probably limiting your OC. Usually you won't get to the point of serious damage from PCI or AGP bus overclocks because you'll get instability.
