Need some help with GPU selection

The 8800GT is faster.

I guess i dont understand the question? Do you mean the memory bus?
 
Out of the two cards you listed the GT version has more stream processors, and higher Core and memory frequencies. The GT is the better buy. It's also faster then the 640 card you linked.

It's all kinda confusing, and not to make matters worse,but nvidia has another newer GTS card that's a little more faster then both cards you linked to. But if your on a budget I'd get the GT you linked to.
 
Agree the 8800GT is the better card there. It's up to you, but it probably is not worth the extra money for the superclocked version - the standard 8800GT is $30 cheaper and can almost certainly be overclocked to superclock speeds (normally much higher than that even) with very little effort at all. Only reason to go with the superclock is if it has the bigger fan that some of the 8800GTs are coming with now.

The bits part is the width of the memory bus - so 256-bit is a 256-bit wide memory bus, while the 320-bit is 320 bits. All else being equal, higher is better, but in this case the 8800GT GPU is quite a bit better than the 8800GTS one (at least on that card), more than making up for the narrower memory bus. Memory speed also plays a part, but in this case the 8800GT has faster (frequency) memory as well.

Normally i would agree but given the price gouging of the 8800's $289 aint bad for an EVGA GT Superclock or not.
