I'm sure this has been asked but I'm not weeding through 83 pages.
Has anyone with a new Mac Pro that ordered the card separately received any notification that the card itself has shipped?

I'm in the same boat, although really the difference between shipping today and shipping Monday is a lot less grim than the (lost opportunity) of having it ship yesterday. I've got to wait the weekend regardless. If it had shipped yesterday then I'd have it today!
ok i just got a prepared for shipment so im on the same boat and if we have overnight shipping hopefully we are lucky enough to have it delivered tomorrow saturday. i say that because when i ordered my printer on a friday along with the MP and received it saturday and a family member who was visiting ordered a macbook pro and got delivered on saturday as well so you never know woohoo
here is a picture of the tracking of my printer hopefully we all have the same luck with the MP

was it Fedex? or UPS?
yea my printer for which i posted a screen cap of the delivery date and my cousins MBP for which i cant find the tracking at the moment
PS: it was fed ex
ooooooo... i got hope
then again, mine is still 'prepared for shipment'
what use is that
Extremely good question.
I was tempted to start a post with that question but I think it is highly unlikely that anyone has received the separate 8800 GT card as yet.
p.s. I don't think anyone has asked or answered your question as yet.
That's how I ordered back in Jan and still nothing. Actually it was GE Corporate discount through Apple "Friends and Family". AND I had to pay something like $20 for a month's worth of access to the Apple discount.
I think they may have put us on the back-burner. If anyone else has any info about this please let us know. Thanks
Got my delivery date bumped up 4 days!
Decided to try calling Apple one more time, simply because my stated delivery date, Feb 18th, falls on President's Day (which might also be a non-delivery day but I don't know that for a fact) I really just wanted to make sure I got it BEFORE the 3-day weekend so I have adequate set up time, etc.
Because my order was placed with an Apple employee discount, I was told that I was ineligible for any expedited shipping charges or money back, which was fine with me. I did inquire if I was able to upgrade to and pay for the expedited delivery myself (only $30) and received the green light. So now my dual 3.0GHZ/4GB/8800GT will be delivered next Thursday, Feb 14th! (still shipping on Tuesday, Feb 12th) I just refreshed my web order page and the change went through immediately.
The operator told me my order could be shipped out a day or two earlier, but of course that's all speculation. Considering I'm already getting a great price with the discount, I have no problem ensuring early delivery 'peace-of-mind' for the extra $30.
I have, however, promised my girlfriend that Valentine's Day night won't be spent fooling around with the new computer - I get all weekend for that.

Speaking of Valentines day - you gave me a great idea?
I'm going to buy my wife some memory for my MP...
I really hope she likes it!

Not to worry. After eight months, she's used to my Mac obsession! She's also grateful that I resurrected both her dome-based iMac AND her old Wallstreet Powerbook (she'll soon get my 2.16GHz Dual Core MacBook Pro once the MBP receives its imminent update)

Ain't that the truth...
I just had to make another call to Apple after calling last night and getting expedited shipping for my efforts. Tonight, I eventually got the opportunity to talk with a supervisor. He stated there could be various reasons for someone getting their's shipped earlier and others not...different warehouses, configurations, etc. He thought my could be the wireless card or the wireless keyboard/mouse. He confirmed mine was coming from CA. For my problems, he upped my shipping to overnight and $150 off the price.
So, at least, my frown has turned to a small grin with this latest development.
Ordered: 20 Jan
Ship: 20 Feb

Placed my order on Jan 16. Still says the shipping date to be Feb 22, and delivery by Feb 28. I got impatient and went to the Apple store and bought the MacBook Air instead. Hopefully the Mac Pro will arrive sooner than those dates.
