    from a technological point of view, the 6600 GT is a better design... but the 6800 LE is slightly faster.

    I'll save the explanation about why I think NV43 is a better design for another time. ;)

    I was going to ask this same question.

    Have you anything planned for the 6600GT (ie I want one)

    6800 cause it has 256bit mem bus - then you have that and can overclock it if it's slower clocked than the 6600GT, if ya get me. Bus width perminant compared to clock speed which isnt.

    I finally got my 6800le through the other day, it's an amazing performer for the price, and only a 1-slot cooler! Dead proud of it and I'm sure it'll keep years of games running :)

    i would say the 6800gt, you can overclock it to the 6800ultra speeds and works just the same (considering there isnt any differance except the heatsink) i am loving mine and dont have a reason to upgrade at all, i can run all games with everything turned all the way up 8xAA and 16x AF must love amd64
