#1 - I can get pretty much any video cards I want, I get the PCI-E EVGA 6800 GT for $400 and the 6800 Ultra for $500

Which is a great deal.....for either.....

#2 - Will I need the 24 to 20 pin converter for the power supply? I have a Ultra 600 Watt (not Xconnect) power supply that has 20 pin.

#3 - I run dual 20inch LCD's, (dell) so I run a high res all the time, 1680x1050, is it worth it to get the the Ultra's or just save $200 and get the GT's and a nicer RAptor hard Drive or something....

#4 - If I want to overclock, what ram speed and brand should I be looking at for the 3500+ Nforce 4?

Thanks,

Mackie

Update:

Thinking about getting two 512 Ballistix LED ram Sticks, reviews are saying they overclock quite nicely...

Anyone have comments on the 20 to 24 pin conection?
