Another vote for the Antec TruePower New TP-750 750W. I got it a week ago from Newegg for $89.95 and there is a $20 rebate, so ~$70 total if I ever get it (not holding my breath).
Well here is a good resource:

Multiple rails are more of a non-issue than being bad, but about everything out there has multiple 12v rails to safety distribute the current load.
Yeah, I'd look at new PSU with dual 12v rails. It appears this has only one. I have an Ultra 500W w/ dual rails ... Ultra is not exactly great but it works fine with my HD 4850 and my system is overclocked pretty good. Having a 12v rail you can dedicate to your video card is very important...

Yeah, just the higher multiplier, 10x, so you can easily start at 300 FSB and work your way up. You can use DDR2 667 or 800, the memory speed doesn't make a significant performance difference.

I have not had any problems at all. Currently running the memory at 400Mhz, 1.8v, 4-4-4-12. Stock is 5-5-5-15.
You want to clear the CMOS jumper and then go into the BIOS, load optimized defaults and save after loading the new BIOS. This worked fine for me going from 11 -> 14.
I just did a similar upgrade, went from Opteron 165 @ 2.4 Ghz to the system in my sig. I am very happy with the upgrade since the Opteron was bottlenecking my video card. Overclocking to 3.2 Ghz took me all of a few minutes and everything is rock stable. The E2180 makes it pretty easy with a 10x...
