I have a K8N Neo4 MSI motherboard

I wanna but the new Radeon card but I don't know if it's compatible with my motherbaord or not because it's Pcie v.2

and I can't seem to find what version mine is

it only says PCIE X16

should I but the card?

"It remains to be seen why AMD clocked down the parts, so that performance parity with 8800GT is established."

NVidia has a host of OEM's: PNY, eVGA, Asus, MSI, etc. Does not AMD have OEM's that can improve on the reference design in order to add water-cooling? WC is terrifically more efficient...

Fizzy, I think you're too late. You should have sold your 2900 before 8800 GT came out. News of GT’s performance/price and launch date was circulating the net before it was actually released. You won't get much money for it now. Still, 8800 GTs are out of stock, and 3000s aren't out yet, so selling it now is better than waiting until after Nov 19th. After the 19th (or around that date) you’ll get next to nothing for you 2900. 

And I’m convinced myself that the 19th (or near that date) is going to be hard launch.

Nov 19? Thought this was a january release. Can someone back up this release date with another source? I want to sell my 2900 before the release so i can get high money on it. :P

828 MHz DDR is 1.56 GT/s

828 * 2 = 1.656 which rounds up to 1.66,

Thanks for your math lesson commenter.

Miki ... try again.

828*2= 1656 or 1.656 or 1.66 rounded

@ Fizzy: From every source that I have seen recently, it appears that these GPUs will be coming out, more or less, 2 days after crysis. I don't have any sources on hand right now, but it basically been widely accepted.

u r such a math genius, miki...

1.56 is 2x 780. This is 2x 828 which is 1656

1.656 =~1.66

Anyhoo, pricing is irrelevant without the performance numbers.

the 3870 its cheaper than the 8800GT but how about performance?

Will it be toe-to-toe with 8800GT or will it be like a 2900?

828 times 2 equals 1,56 ? Damn I thought I was stupid for thinking that 8+8 is 16 and 28+28 is 56 as in 1656 (1,66 Rounded GT/s)

The MSRP for a 512 meg 8800GT is 250$, i picked mine up for 240$ launch day, i hardly think a 10$ difference can be called "brilliant pricing, going way below 8800GT."
