Can I use two different brands of 8800gt to set up my SLI say the MSI overclocked one and XFX regular one from Dell? What would the performance be? Will the performance be better if I use same chips?

Yes SLI with different brands should be OK. You just have to remember that the SLI speeds will be that of the slower card so if one is slower then the speed of both cards will be that speed.

AFAIK comingling of different brands wasn't really done too much back then but it is possible now. I think if you do a quick google on it then you should be able to turn something up.

Nope, performance will be exactly the same. So it doesn't matter what brands you get, the only reason you should consider different brands is for warranty and stuff...

Brand is just who's selling the card and maybe some minor variations in the design/production of the card, the chip is the same, G92 made by nVidia.
