How can I overclock my 8800 Ultra...is it a risky procedure? I have never tried to overclock a graphics card before and If there is a big risk of ruining it then i dont want to doit but if it isnt that hard then i will give it a try.

NOT worth it. Overclocking (cpu or gpu) is attractive for the lower clocked variants. There's plenty of headroom. But when you are talking of the top variants like an 8800 Ultra, there's little headroom. And to squeeze out that small remaining performance you may have to consider costly/specialized coolers, risky volt-modding, etc.
Consider the SLI option.

If you aren't tech savvy enough to do it yourself, it's not worth the risk. Overclocking is a dangerous procedure in the best of hands. I definitely wouldn't recommend it for someone who isn't 110% sure of what they're doing.
