Anyone received 8800GT? Or at least have it shipped?

Hypnotoad said:
I also ordered a MP with the 8800GT on Jan 8th and my order status still says "Ships by Feb 13." Now I'm wondering if I should cancel and reorder with the stock ATI card... I might be playing a game or two, and doing some video editing, but I suppose the ATI card will be more than adequate, no? I plan on getting a 30" LCD (there again I don't know how long I can wait for Apple to either drop the price or refresh the product).
Has anyone been using the new MP with a 30" display enough to tell if that card is good enough? From what I've read around the web it's kind of a mediocre card, by today's standards...

Fwiw, I had ordered with a 8800GT but cancelled and re-ordered with the stock card to get the machine sooner.

(I still did order the 8800GT kit, though).

I cancelled my order last night as well. I think I'll go to the Apple Store tonight and buy a stock machine. I'm sick of waiting.
Here's a question I don't think I've seen asked: If you order a single quad-core penryn machine, will it be upgradeable to a dual-cpu machine in the future? IOW, is there an empty socket on the motherboard for the second CPU? Just wondering, in case I change my mind and want to save the $500 right now...
