The multiple reviews of the 6800 seem to have been made on
real hardware. There has always been two to three months delay
between a new product announcement from either nVidia or Ati
and the product becoming available for sale to the retail public.
Volume consumers like the big-box Dells etc. frequently negotiate
preferential availability to them of new OEM product.
