Default bfg 6800gs oc agp

I might be getting the 6800gs agp, and I see the BFG one on newegg for about 30 dollars cheapter than the other ones. The description states it has 16 pipelines, is Newegg wrong? I checked on BFG's site and there is nothign about it, but I know that 12 pipes is standard on the card. Any info?

I haven't heard of a 16 pipe 6800 GS, although the AGP versions are sorta crippled, so possibly eVGA is compensating for the lower clock speeds

The BFG one is slighter overclocked.

BFG has a lifetime warranty on their cards.

Someone just wrote a review on newegg that mentioned the BFG Tech support saying the card comes with the 16 pipes unlocked. ^-^ apparently this seems the way to go for me if I am going to buy one. It is the cheapest, comes pre overclocked, its from a good brand, and the pipelines are unlocked. :-)
