No 6800 with PCI-Express???

I looked, but I can not find geForce 6800 GTs with PCI-Express. Is no one
making a PCI-Express version of the card?

Thank you,
Luke

AFAIK, the PCI-express based cards are supposedly the N45, with NV40 being
the 6800 and NV43 being the 6600. Supposedly NVIDIA isn't pushing to get
the NV45 on the market, which I can understand since the majority of
consumers out there have AGP ports.

kind of stupid though. I'm about to do an upgrade that requires new
motherboard etc. but the motherboard has PCI-Express. I might go with ATI
since there are no PCI-Express geForce 6800 cards...

I suspect that nvidia sees no urgency on this because there are no
PCI-Express 64-bit motherboards out yet and little point to using it with
anything as slow as a P4.

Hmm... I thought the new dual Xeon motherboards that accept 64-bit Naconas
mostly come with PCI-Express ?

And how many of those are being sold to gamers?
