True. If you're willing to wait another few months for new drivers then/when GTX 470 performance will definitely match or be really close to HD 5970. Nvidia magic ™ drivers.
That is why Nvidia magic™ doesn't need a new hardware generation every time ATI does.
FX 1800 Max Power Consumption is at 59W so I'm not really sure advanced cooling solution is needed at all. I have it in my box and it's extremely quiet.
My car keys with an electronic coded chip (transponder) and a remote control just failed.
An Oven + 200 C celsius + 10 min = THE SOLUTION !!!!

As far as I know, hp would sell you a quadro card only within a new HP machine. Anyway both should be ok, mine is pny and I'm more than happy with it (fedora6/64).
geforce-gtx-470-1gb-gddr5-pci-express-x16
geforce-gtx-480-2gb-gddr5-pci-express-x16
gtx 470 at $499
gtx 480 at $699
Amazing price/performance indeed ;)
So we can expect gtx 470 to have 2x 5850 performance. Nice.
