Yep yep. If you go for the 6800LE you can also unlock some of the pipes...
My GT's are also Made by MSI.
I used to have a:

Athlon XP 2000+
512mb DDR.
And a MSI Geforce FX 5700LE - where I managed to overclock it from:
250/400 to 570/600 Without any volt mods! I think it was based on the full blown 5700 thats why the core overclocked so well... I dont see the point in changing brands if one brand serves good enough! ^.^
- and MSI's stock cooling is craptastic.. and I also got a PCI Express Dual fan to sit in the slot next to the cards blowing air onto it, which helped a helluva alot.

Built my own.... kinda crappeh, but I'm gonna update soon as I get the cash...

Current PC:
Chaintech Intel 865 chipset 'board (donno model number)
512 MB DDR400 Corsair Value Series RAM
60 GB 8MB Cache IDE HD
80 GB 8MB Cache IDE HD
80 GB USB 2.0 External HD
Intel Celeron 2.6 GHz (Somehow oc'ed to 2.66, don't ask, don't know)
Radeon 9600 Pro 256MB by PowerColor (Love this thing)
400 Watt Antec PSU
That runs most newer games at about 800*600, medium or high detail with 30 FPS... not bad...

Planned Upgrades: (Whole new comp, except HDs)
Gigabyte SLI-Ready, AMD64 compat. 'board (sexeh)
AMD64 3000+ Venice Core
1GB Corsair XMS DDR400 RAM- Dual Channel
GeForce 6600GT, 128MB PCI-Express, SLI capable (plan to go SLI)
500W Antec PSU

Comments on this are greatly appreciated, my budget only allows for around $500, and that is from NewEgg... it's just over $530, keeping the same case.

-- Intel P4 @ 2.6 Ghz --
-- 536 MB 3200 DDR RAM --
-- ATi 9800 Pro - 128 MB --
-- 350 W PSU of unknown brand --
-- 80 GB HD, mostly full --
-- The last Dell I will ever buy --​

It can play the latest games on mid to low settings, depending on the game and resolution. It needs to last me until the summer when, while earning $15/hr at a local brewery, I can save up money for a new computer and enough beer to last me through the winter.

Why the last Dell you'll ever buy? My family computer is a Dell and we've only had one problem with it in 4 years, and even then Customer Support sent someone over the next day to fix it =]

You might wanna try do some overclocknig on that celeron. Rasie the fsb in 2mhz increasements to find your limit and then up the vcore when you hit a wall at the default voltage settings, & then up the vcore to see if you can do anymore, just don't go to high with vcore settings.
