Got a question, I just bought this card today on the 8th of march will be here tomorrow, and I was wondering is there a way to unlock the 16 pipelines?? or is the 16 PPL even there? I was looking through your forums and ran across the one with OCing your nvidia Geforce 6800GS. then I stumbled upon someone saying that you cant unlock the pipes on the card.. if this is true I guess this is fine, but in stead how do I massively
OC the card.. I am replacing my ATI x850xt Plat card with this.. reason is because for one it does not support SM 3.0 and it does not have 512mb or ram. now the 512mb geforce I am replacing it with I would like to also know the core/mem speeds on it which I cant find I guess because it is newer.. but it would be great if someone could let me know all of this information, and IF I made a good move to this other card because I want SM 3.0 and the 512mb or ram.. if you want my system specs are as follows:

umm, also I would just again like to know how to get more power out of this GS card then the ATI one I have now, and if you could let me know IF its at all possible to get better frames out of the nvidia over the current ATI I have...
NOTE: I would think it could because it has more memory..
If anyone would like to IM me my MSN S/N is
