6800nu = 6800 non-ultra, 6800 regular, vanilla... "GeForce 6800"

Only a few 6800nu can be unlocked and overclocked to GT speeds. This is because the majority of 6800nu's don't use the same type of RAM found on the GT or Ultra.

On top of this, there's still the gamble of getting a 6800nu that will unlock fully. I don't remember the exact chances, but they aren't good. Something like 50%.

If you are willing to wait 3 weeks or so to see if nvidia will roll out 6800GS for AGP. Otherwise, x800xt, x800xl or 6800GT.

x800xl for $274 and x800xt for under $300...
right, tough choice!!

edit: $269 for x800xt, one of the fastest AGP, not bad!!
x850xt PE (540/1180) > x800xt PE (520/1060) > x850xt (520/1040) > x800xt (500/1000) = 6800Ultra

I'm just going to keep reading this thread. Pretty soon someone will find the X800XT for less than $250!
