sadly, yeah...I was keen on getting the latest and greatest too, but
I'll wait until they revise the board - if they can't the price of
8800's are going to drop like the 5000 fx series; also I have read that
ati is getting ready to release a card that games 20% faster than the
8800gtx, is fully sli crossfire compatible- maybe just return the
8800's and wait for a bit if you can.

Glad I was able to help. they just released new drivers specifically
for the 8800 and I was looking over the documentation and theres a LOT
of known issues and problems in there. the bfg card goes over $700
here, sure saved myself a lot of money holding off.
