Yes you can just raise the clock speeds of the lower one to match the higher one.$30 more for factory overclock?
Yea pretty much, it wouldn't be difficult to do that yourself. It's simple just up it the same amount in the nvidia control panel.
the oc'd one probably comes with the regular warranty. if you somehow break the slower one trying the oc it, you would be sol.
I went with the BFG OC'd 8800 gts just to have it done for me. Not to mention, it ended up being cheaper to get the OC version thanks to a glitch at comp usa = D
