HA! i just did some research and i found out that the LE version is just a slower memory bandwidth: 

nVidia GeForce FX 5700 LE:
   Memory Bandwidth   	6.4GB/sec. 
                                     Video Memory            128MB

nVidia GeForce FX 5700
   Memory Bandwidth   	8.8GB/sec.
                                     Video Memory            256MB

and the prices reflect that:

5700 LE=$104
5700 = $188 
so there ya go, for anyone wondering the same thing ...and so people wont do any useless research ... ya right  :roll:
