welcome to XtremeSystems chp

let my try to answer your questions as good as i can, im not 100% sure about this here it goes:

1. yes and no, they are specific to the pcb and memory chips used
2. yes, but its very restricted, only very few selected people have it
3. no, dont think so
4. check out the reviews of them if you really want to get the max out of your card id recommend you to watercool it

im REALLY curious at what clockspeed gddr3 performs about the same as gddr4. i heard gddr3 performs better at the same clockspeed than gddr4, so 2ghz gddr3 should perform about the same as 2.2ghz gddr4 i guess... but im not sure
