5900se or 5900xt

Any idea what the difference between the 5900se and the 5900xt series of FX cards? I am going to buy one and just wanted to know what the difference is if any.

The XT and SE are basically the same a card with NV35 core which a clocked at 400 MHz or 390 MHz depending on the company. The memory is however still interfaced at 256 bit but with lower clocks as well. Exactly how much I forgot. 700MHz? I think. Basically i think they are the same.

I forgot, read up Rage's review of a 5900SE

They're pretty much the same card but with a different name. The standard clockrates are 400mhz for the CPU, and 700mhz for the RAM. Basicly it's the same as a regular FX5900 but with lower memory speed.
