XFX makes several different versions of the 7900 GTX, some with the same name but with different clock speeds. Be sure to check the clock speeds before you buy to make sure you're getting what you expect.

is the higher the clock speed the better?

Yeah, pretty much. But with this card, there's not a whole lot of room for overclocking, so the clock speeds are all relatively the same.

i donno about that, i mean Nvidia cores OC way better then ATI ones. i mean seriosly, blizzard pumped an additional 25Mhz outta the X1900XTX, but yea the memory being built on 110nm process means it maxes out at 900, too bad cuz it could use the extra memory speed, it could really impact the hit the X1900 takes.

i dont get it..the noise level is mentioned as loud..but it gets a 9 for the silence...how does that work?

Noise level is quiet, this card is practically silent. Note that the rating system is by users, and especially the silence rating seems to be pretty inaccurate.

All the Evga 7900 GTXs with "Reload" tacked onto the names are the new versions released by Evga with better memory chips. See the below site for info. http://www.evga.com/articles/317.asp

No, the ATI cards do overclock very well...you simply need to buy from Sapphire, HiS, Gecube...etcetera -OR- invest in an after market heatsink/fan. Because ATI-ATI cards come with very little room to OC b/c of the thermal output and the weak fan set ups designed to fit inside one card slot!!! But that has nothing to do with what they are capable of...which is very good OC's in the XT, or GT lines...less so in the Pro line (x1950 b/c of a different GPU designed for power saving features).

The 7 series sucked until nVidia launched this card. And even still, it couldn't match the X1900.
