I think some Mod has removed wrong posts, I added to above that all 8800GTX's are 768MB, now post is gone.
Only better card thats worth you upgrading too is the 8800GTX, 8800GTX has always been worth £100 extra as far as i'm concerned but the 8800Ultra is just a waste of money.

Surely a 640mb GTS will last until Nvidia's next lot of high-end cards, possibly longer as theres no games.

You think so, the Crysis guy said to go over 1600x1200 in Crysis you are going to need better cards than one he named (cant remember) but basically it meant GTX/Ultra for 1600x1200 and above.
Suppose I could use search but need keyword, like the guys name.
"Maximum PC - Cevat Yerli Crysis Interview
Maximum PC magazine published a technology focused Crysis interview with Crytek CEO and President Cevat Yerli on their October 2007 issue. Below is a short summary of the main topics from the one-page interview. Thanks to littlecheez9 for this!
- The game physics in Crysis will be handled by the CPU only so there will be no GPU or PhysX PPU aided physics acceleration.
- What comes to digital distribution Crysis will not be available on services such as Steam but on EA Link (EA Store).
- Crysis is highly optimized for both single-core and multi-core CPUs.
- The benefit from having multi-core CPUs will only be better performance i.e. higher and smoother frame rates.
- Cevat believes that GeForce 8800 GTS or Radeon 2900 will be good for running Crysis at 1280 resolutions on maximum settings but for 1600x1200 or higher you'll need faster hardware. "
He dont mention the GTS 640 specifically but I assume he means GTX/Ultra to go 1600x1200 and above.
