GT is better because it has 16/5 pipelines (as opposed to 12/4 on 6800)
+ it has much higher colck speed for both the GPU and RAM.
However 6800 is much cheaper and can be unlocked to 16/5 if it is and
AGP version.

The 6800 GT is clocked faster and uses DDR3 RAM chips for ultra fast memory
data transfer. I own it and it is GREAT in games like Half Life 2 with HIGH
video settings.

That's a glitch Glitch, the 6800GT has 16 and 6 pipes, the 6800 has 12 and
5.

Oh sorry, I guess I read wrong from somewhere :)
But the point is that GT is a lot faster but the AGP 6800 can be unlocked.

Yeah, and the GT is still faster. Inglo can tell ya from his experience
that being able to unlock the pipes gives a definite boost in performance.
But even unlocked, it's still a bit slower card than the GT. And even with
12 and 5 pipes, the 6800 is no slouch, as i saw with HL2 and doom3.
With prices of these cards what they are right now, I'd go for the GT.

Unfortunately shipments of GTs are scarce (at least here in Croatia) and
retailers are using it an excuse to push up the price :(
Guess I'll just wait for a 7600GT APG or 6800GS AGP as I'm surely not
jumping to PCI-E with a good 875P board and an Intel P4 2.8 :(
