I was reading the Article on the main page of Anandtech and according to them two 6600's in SLI opperate faster than a single 6800GT.
Now today I was searching GameVE.com and I came accross the 6600 PCI-E cards and noticed that there are two kinds. There is a 256MB version (NON-GT) and there is 128MB version (GT Model). The 128MB GT model is more expensive than the 256MB version and has the exact same clock/memory speed of the 6800 GT, only difference I have found so far is half the RAM.

Now in the Anandtech Article they did not state which version of the 6600 they were running in SLI, so what I am trying to figure out is which would be better? The 128MB GT has higher speeds, but the 256MB non-GT has more memory with slower clock rate. My assumptions would be to get the 2 6600GT's and run those together in SLI since the speeds are faster.
Anyway since both of these cards are under $200 it most likely will be my next setup, to run 2 6600's in SLI on most likely the Asus nForce4 SLI motherboard if it reviews well.
