Check this page on MSI's global website:

These cards seem to have the exact names as their AGP counterparts, but they
are listed under NVIDIA PCI-E Series and specifically don't mention AGP.
Here's to hoping they show up soon.

I heard that the current batch of 6800 PCI-E uses a bridge chip, where as
the new one will be native PCI-E (and hopefully free of the WMV decoder
bug), is this information correct?

I believe that this applies only to the PCIe 6800. The PCIe 6800GT and
6800Ultra will use an on-die bridge chip.
