As to your first question Yes Second question depend on what Video Card you buy. The Video Card will tell you the minimum amps on the +12v Rail of the power supply.

Yes. It's called "Cool-n-Quiet". A setting in the BOIS. When your computer is at an idle, the processor will drop it's Multiplier and Voltage down to save power. When the processor is being used it will jump back up. Hope that helps! Google Cool-n-Quiet for more info.

The VF1000 aslo comes with the RAM Heatsinks. 8 of them I believe. The ZM-RHS88 is for the G80 series and the 8800GT is a G92 series GPU and dose not require the extra Heatsink (ZM-RHS88). The extra Heatsinks I bought were for the MOSFETs chips that the original cooler for the 8800GT was...

No you do not. I have a 8800GT also and bought the VF1000. What you do need is a set of heat sinks to put on the MOSFETs. When you take the old cooler off, check to see where the heatsink was touching the MOSFETs. This is what i bought...

Have you tried OCing with the multiplier when the 4th core is locked?

You don't need to do much. Just insert Windows7 disk. In the set up just pick the HDD that don't have Vista installed. Once Windows7 is installed and reboots, you have the choice of which OS to boot. I did the same thing for my computer.

You need to go in the BIOS and change the MCP Storage Config to AHCI. Vista already has the driver needed to enable AHCI in the operating system. After changing in the BIOS, then go into Reg. and follow Microsoft's suggestion. I did the same thing. Installed Vista first, then enabled AHCI in...

It connects to the USB port on the motherboard. Some card readers also have 1394 (mini Firewire port). Then there would be 2 lines coming off the reader. One for USB and one for 1394. I have one that has both.

You do not have to reinstall VISTA to enable AHCI. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922976 1. Exit all Windows-based programs. 2. Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER. 3. If you receive the User Account Control dialog box, click Continue. 4. Locate and...
