I do notice that VX2450 hasn't got HDMI; what does it do, it's just the audio input, right?

Expected you to say that :). It's mainly that Saphire is cheaper!.

I do notice that Gigabyte's 5850 is the Over-clocked version- was told that this is the only ver available in NZ. What are the differences between OC and original version?
