I recommend the HD 4870, it's going to perform better than the GTX 260
Nope, most motherboards don't support over 1333 mhz right now anyway. (or atleast they don't say they support over 1333 mhz)

I could be runnin DDR2 800 mhz and be fine, ddr3 is sorta overkill rightnow.

I've heard of people who had to downclock the 4870 because of stability issues. The other version of the card has less memory and gets blown out of the water in the charts against nvidia. I haven't found a chart with the 1 gb 4870 on it though.
I'm not really an ATI fan in the first place, so I think I'm effectively swayed back to nvidia.
That 4870 is the card my die-hard ATI friend is going to be putting in his soon. If I was an ATI fan, it would be my only choice right now.
