I got a k8n diamond recently and was very annoyed about the lack of a
wifi/bluetooth card as the adverts all had the card listed when I
purchased. Anyway I sorted that out.
I also got a pair of MSI 6800GTs to go into the board, and ave just found
out that they are not GTs but plain 6800s... Rivatuner shows 12 pipelines
and 5 vertex shaders. Seems MSI are going to do a recall on this one, but
only after lots of complaints.
Just a warning in case anyone else bought MSI GTs recently:

Where did you buy them and were they oem or retail?
