OC is an overclocked version and since they are the same price, go for the overclocked

if the non-OC'd one is less, go for that one

Well one of the 6800 GT OC ^ is brand new (aren't those both OCed?)...if it was me I'd just go out and buy one somewhere else, and not have to pay for shipping (just keep an eye on the price, it might be cheaper after all.)

the 6800GT OC is the same thing as the 6800GT except they overclock it for you before you install it. I would get that one only if the price isnt too much higher, since if you know how to you can overclock it yourself.
