Which 8800?

[wickedy]

Budget of £260, conveniently enough.....

Should I get the BFG GeForce 8800 GTS OC2 320MB or the Gainward BLISS GeForce 8800 GTS 640MB to replace my tempremental HIS x1950 Pro 256??

Will be used for C&C3, Supreme Comm., ArmA, Company of Heroes at 1600x1024 and hooked up to an E6300 at stock (for now), 2GB PC6400, Gigabyte DS4, 2x36GB raptors RAID etc etc.

Am I going to get better performance from the OC'd 320MB card or from the stock 640MB version??

What are the recommended manufacturers??

Thanks for the assist!!

R600 is almost here, wait and see what the performance of that is like.

But I want one now....

WAAAIIIIITTTTTT!!!!! Or you can have my card for £175 delivered?!

Is that the 320 or 640 incarnation?

Also, to save me opening a new thread, how noisy are these cards? I know that this is a "how long is a piece of string" type question, but will I need to buy ear-plugs to save my eardrums?
