dunno about Ultra but this GTX from Overclockers own brand is on sale at £244 inc vat and will overclock to a great benchmark. Customer reviews all positive. _________________

I don't know the characteristics of your mobo but i had to flash my BIOS the last time i upgraded. That allowed my old mobo to make use of a dual core processor, so it might work for you.
Worth a shot if you're facing replacement or bust _________________
