As some may or may not have noticed, for anyone interested in upgrading an AGP system, it would seem the BFG 6800GS OC is the way to go.
For $200 shipped at NewEgg, you can get the BFG 6800GS OC card, which oddly enough, comes STOCK with 16-pipes* and 370MHz core clock, warrantied. Note these are the identical stats of the earlier BFG 6800GT OC card. The only differance (as a BFG 6800GT owner) I can tell between the two cards is the heatsink, which is a stock cooler on the GS, while the older GT had a custom dual-fan BFG cooler.
As far as I know, this is the only card you're going to get for AGP that is garaunteed and warrantied with 16-pipes for a $200 price tag off the shelf (certainly for NVidia anyways).
Just a heads-up for those that my not have noticed this great deal.
*EDIT:
Upon further review it may seem that it's a typo and this is a warrantied 12-pipe card (that should unlock to 16 with a little luck). Still a good deal though.
