Just wating for 640 MB to come on Earth 
How Much performance Gain does the Ultra have over the normal GTX to justify the 4k extra ??
great prices ... specially coming from xfx which are generally priced higher
I guess the card referred as 8800 GTX Ultra in the first post is 8800 GTX XXX edition in fact. there is no 8800 GTX Ultra on the XFX site. The XXX edition has the core clocked at 630 MHz and the memory at 2 GHz.
There is indeed going to be a 8800 Ultra, but the GTX and Ultra terms do not co exist and the new card coming out will be 8800 Ultra which supposedly will use GDDR 4 memory and core clocked a bit higher offering a 10~15% gain over the current GTX. The card is expected to be released at the same time as the HD 2900XTX and going to be sold at a premium of $999.
I would not recommend the XXX or similar factory over clocked editions of high end graphics cards not just because of the price, but also because they are not designed to handle the Indian summer conditions.
As for the 8800 Ultra, if the performance gain is just 10~15% with such a substantial price difference, then its definitely not worth it.
Edit: Ok, Just came across this info about 8800 Ultra on inq
Source: Final 8800 Ultra specs disappoint
The card is definitely not worth it.

Justin thanks for the XFX 8800 Prices-- a friend was able to buy a 320MB XFX 8800.
Can U make this effort for other XFX 7 series cards too ? There are fake price-lists of computer components floating around web in India- saw one on Techtree -seems to be popular- but those are some hypothetical interpolated rates- This is first Real time- in market price I have come across.
