What's the difference in the regular Albatron and the Turbo?

Not much anymore from my understanding. Well, PCB design is different along with heatsink and 3.3ns BGA Ram, but apparently there have been "bad" batches as of late with a few reports these cards aren't getting much more than normal ti4200s and definitely not up to ti4600 speeds. Can't say I can really recommend this buy anymore, as time has passed, its price is pretty much the same, and there are competing parts out around the same price with better performance.

Run another search on Albatron here and the gen. hardware forum and you'll probably see a few people wondering why the OC speeds were teh suck now. (My guess is cheaper parts are being used now that the card has set a reputation for itself and they are scaling back production on these in anticipation of GF FX).

Gotcha, thanks! It's hard to really use these threads sometimes, even when one is a couple weeks old something newer and better has come out Looking up the 9500 now...
