What setup will yield better performance?'

Two 6600gt's sli together or a 6800ultra or 7800gt?

I don't think you can get any of the choices listed for $200-240. If that 6800GT in your sig is a PCIe card and you have an SLI motherboard, you could probably do dual 6800GT's for $240ish. Honestly though, the best recommendation would be to save up the additonal $50-60 and pick up a 7900GT.

A 6800gt is faster than 2 6600gt. But it's no longer in production.
For ~$180 get a 7600gt, which is even faster than a 6800gt. For ~$240, maybe you can find a used 7800gt, which would be the fastest out the cards I listed.
