Okay, well, I'm guessing my grandpa just put the order in since when we were going over the list on the phone the motherboard was still in stock and now it's not. He was going to just put in a order for everyone and than they were going to choose what they bought I think. Anywho, I CAN NOT wait! Only downside is that I had to get a differant GPU, but I think that was a good thing... I like the new one better, most the specs are the same but it's GDDR3 and the cooler is fanless and looks cooler.

Just 1 question though, if my build uses DDR2 RAM, can I have a GDDR3 GPU? I'm sure it wouldn't make a differance, just wanted to check, Cabe?

Here's the new card:
MSI NX8600GT-T2D256EZ GeForce 8600GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR3

Also, stupid question, but can I install Ubuntu on this machine, I've always wanted to try it, but it won't work, I've got both the x32 and x64 share. So it seems like I should, but I haven't been able to on this or my last machine.
