6800 all the way, then you can unlock it to 16 pipelines and OC it and have something close to a 6800GT (just with less RAM and DDR instead of DDR3)...

Definitly get the 6800 over the 6600GT. And if at all possible try and save more money and get a 6800GT. It would be worth it in the long run! I almost bought a 6600Gt but at the last moment got the 6800GT instead and I have not regretted since and am glad to have made that decision.
