the 6800le agp was based off the nv40, which had 16 pipelines, but 8 are disabled. It is possible to unlock those 8 pipelines giving you the full 16, chances are that is what has been done here. All the 6800 series cards had a 256-bit memory bus, even the lowest of the low 6800le/xt.

Thanks fir the answer. So... if I could unlock those 8 extra pipelines and with the 256 bits memory bus... this card is better than a Sapphire X1650Pro???
 
I would say so.

The 6800 can be unlocked easily, and they have 256bit memory bus vs 128bit on the X16**. My 6800 overclocked to 450mhz. Mine had 12p/6vs though. A quad was defective.

I can modify your BIOS when you get it, for increased GPU volts or latencies/overclock settings.

Just remember that there are a few games that need SM 3.0 to play them (like Rainbow Six: Las Vegas).
How much is it selling for?
