evga graphics cards

i have decided that evga is going to be the manufacturer of graphics card i will use. i am using the desktop in my sig. i wonder what is the difference, besides price, for a 6800gt and a 6800 xt, and a 6800 gt and a 6600 gt? assuming all have same onboard memory. is it just core and and memory speed? if my system has 533mhz ddr2 ram, which is more important to satisfy? ultimately i want to purchase a new card for gaming cuz my onboard is obviously not satisfactory. i am planning to purchase >400 watt psu prior to installing. i wonder which is superior, beyond the number scheme. when ive looked at retailer websites, not manufacturer yet, all seem to have the same key funtions: direct x, scalability, cinefx, shadowing..... is there some other reason to have as many cards available? what is the difference, except a few dollars?
