I have been lifting weights for just about six months. I was doing three sets per exercise using the following routine:

Day 1

Chest/biceps

Day 3

Back/triceps

Day5

Legs/shoulders


Days 2, 4, 6

Cardio


I change the routine by working out chest and triceps (instead of chest and biceps) the same day and back and biceps (instead of back and triceps) in same day. However I have noticed that I am not able to workout as heavy with this split as with the other routine. I know in most chest exercise movements, triceps are involved and that in back exercises the biceps are usually involved, so I would expect the muscle to be more fatigued now. However which is better, lifting heavier with the former routine or using lighter weights with the new routine?

They are both effective splits. Many people use both with much success. If you choose to use the push/pull split, then just lower the number of sets for the supporting muscles.
