Which is faster: A 6600GT or 6800LE with unlocked Pipelines?

Hello!
Can you tell me if a 6800LE with unlocked Pipelines is faster than a 6600GT?
And which manufacturer support that feature?
Thank you for your help!

I don't know what an LE is however a 6800NU with stock pipes is faster than a 6600GT, one with unlocked pipes is even faster.

I don't think its possible to point out a manufacturer that can warranty that all the disabled pipes in the 6800LE can work 100% when unlocked. Its just a simply case of "luck-no luck" with RivaTuner. If you're able to unlock all the pipes and flash an Ultra Bios to it, the card will be without a doubt faster than a 6600 GT.

Do all versions of RivaTuner support the feature of unlocking the pipes?
@ Tulcakelume: well I live in germany and here it's named LE. (the cheaper version of the GT)
Perhaps somebody of you tried to unlock the pipes with succes and could tell me which manufacturer they used.
@ Blackboost: How can I flash an Ultra Bios? I just remeber how to flash the Bios of my Mainboard.

Thanks for your answers.

they newest version of Rivatuner does.
I have an XFX 6800, and can unlock the pipes, however in a few games i get a slight checkerboard, over some textures.
A friend of mine has had 2 BFG 6800 OC's. Both of his unlocked with no problems.

And you don't need to flash the bios to an ultra. With RivaTuner you can ROM Strap the card, thinking it is an Ultra.
