Some questions about password policies and GPOs in SBS 2003 R2 Group Policy objects

I am experimenting with GPOs in SBS 2003 R2 and had a couple questions / want to make sure I am not missing something.

the password wizard goes just so far?  you have to manually change the GPO to change the number of passwords it remembers, right? (along with min time of password life, etc.)

There's a bunch of GPOs out of the box!?  you have the default domain policy abd domain password policy.  they seem to conflict with each other on how many passwords are maintained (even though the password policy wizard is unchecked to remember ANY!)

Which takes precidence / why they conflict right out of the box?

when you run the password policy wizard and say 3 days ... does it cue up a batch job to make the change or is there a way in the registry to say 'start this after date X?

otehr gpo's besides the default domain policy can have password policieis in them, right?  they are ignored because they are lower in the GPO list?  Or higher numbered ones take precidence?
