Well you could probably opt for those overclocked ones from vendors such as BFG, Leadtek, or the ASUS Extreme versions. The Leadtek card's overclocked at 450/1.05Ghz I think. That's the one I'm gonna get. Comes with a great game bundle too.

About your second question....well I think Nvidia fixed it up in its latest driver release...I dun think you need to get the same card again....as in terms of the vendor..but I guess it would be better if both cards were operating at the same frequencies. Get other people's views on this, though, I'm not too sure myself....

I'm kinda partial to my eVGA. its a CO thats not labeled a CO, comes stock at 470/1100. its only available at newegg it seems and has 516 in the part number.

If you do get this card, you may have to get the latest BIOS from evga and flash it if you get any wierd lock-ups or artifacting. seems the goofed on the bios thats been shipping with most of these cards and have it running at 470/1200 with a 40mhz clock delta.

Nice ill check out the versions mentioned.

Only concern now is the PSU hmmmm

Well I should think your PSU of choice is sufficient...,though it really depends on what other parts you have in a rig...whether they are power hungry or otherwise..
