Specifications of the GeForce 6800 LE are not disclosed at this time. It is even not clear whether the GeForce 6800 LE is a lower-speed flavour of the GeForce 6800 with 12 pixel and 6 vertex pipelines, or is a cut-down version of the mentioned graphics processing unit with only 8 pixel pipelines and/or fewer vertex pipelines. Earlier this year some reviewers got the GeForce 6800 graphics cards with only 8 rendering pipes enabled. After flashing a new BIOS version, additional 4 pipelines were activated.Source: X-bit Labs
Last week Dell Computer started to sell ATI RADEON X800 SE graphics card.

NVIDIA may respond ATI with its GeForce 6800 LE aimed strictly at OEMs.
At press time neither Dell nor HP offered GeForce 6800-series graphics cards with their desktop systems.
