Graphics card for my new rig (8800 GTX/GT/Ultra???)

[Nox41]

Hi folks,

I'm currently thinking about buying myself a new Alienware rig (Area-51 7500), and I'm having difficulty selecting a graphics card. The ones I'm currently considering are:
768MB NVIDIA® GeForce™ 8800 GTX
1GB ATI® Radeon™ HD 3870 X2 – Dual GPU Technology
768MB NVIDIA® GeForce™ 8800 Ultra
Dual 512MB NVIDIA® GeForce™ 8800 GT – SLI Enabled.

Any help would be appreciated. Just wondering whether it's better to go with the single cards or the dual cards, as it's an issue that I've always had difficulty dealing with.

Thanks alot

The 'Dual 512MB NVIDIA® GeForce™ 8800 GT – SLI Enabled.' is the fastest option you have there.
