i'm looking at buying this card right now: XFX GeForce 6800 GS Extreme XT Edition 256MB
but having compared it to the 6800 GT the biggest difference is the 12 pielines compared to the GT's 16, so just wondering, do any of you know if i can unlock it to 16, and if so, how?
thanks for any help...

It is possible to unlock the AGP 6800 GS's but not the PCI-e versions they use different cores.

AGP yes, PCIE, no, though in the end they perform the same because many PCIE 6800GS's will reach clocks of 525Mhz whereas the 6800GS AGP is clocked much lower (uses older core like stated above).

okay guys, thanks a lot!
this is AGP, as i haven't yet moved to PCI-E... in the future sometime. and yeah, this clocks, core, at 380, but very overclockable...

oh and, how would i do it? rivatuner?

Yes, riva tuner will let you unlock the extra pipes.
