I think early cards had green PCB's with later cards having other colours, mostly black.

Cool, thanks, guess I am happy with black

The original set of cards were mainly black, at least the ones I've had were all black.

A great rumour starting oppotunity missed.
Ie, All 8800gtx's with black PCB's are in fact software locked 8900gtx's.

A little extreme i think, rather the knee than the money personally.
