What do you mean by "When the new version of this graphic card will be out"?

Do you mean the next model in Geforce 8 series cards?

The Geforce 8900 series is rumored to be released this summer. Here is a spec chart:

By the way, your PSU is no where near powerful enough to push 2 8800 Ultras and the rest of your system would bottleneck them anyway. What else are you planning on upgrading? The people in here are quite insightful and would be a great help in making hardware choices.

You might be better off adding a second gig of ram.

Dont even bother with any more than one 8800 with a processor so slow. Nvidia themselves have said that even a quad core kentsfield cannot keep pace with them and bottlenecks them.
You are being too ambitious i am sorry to say, save some money and either get one 8800gtx which will be fine for that panel, or spend some serious cash upgrading processor, motherboard, ram, and psu. Its not worth your money on even one 8800 ultra, you are talking about a 3-5% inv=crease in speed over a 8800gtx for almost 40% of the cost, crap economics.
