6600gt or save $$$ first to buy 7800
6600 gt is the best .
Out of the three your best option is the 6800LE. Wider memory interface. You can also use Rivatuner to perhaps unlock the other pixel pipelines/vertex shaders to softmod the card into a 6800 or 6800GT, which cannot be done on a 6600GT.
The core speed is slower on 6800 series cards than 6600 cards, but its a difference in architecture, so it doesnt matter. In the same way that an Athlon 64 at 3ghz would absolutely beat the living hell out of a Pentium 4 at 3ghz.
In short, 6800LE. I don't think there's any point saving for a 7800, as it's PCI-E only, and given the cards you are looking at, you have an AGP motherboard, and I;m sure you don't want to buy another motherboard.
edit: www.overclockers.co.uk have some good deals on now - the Leadtek 6800LE is £105, the Aopen one is just under £100, and on the "This Week Only" they have two 6800GT's for under £200, may be worth a look. (just note the XFX one is superior to the Asus one, because of the memory used)
