and

all i can see is that the second one has 128MB FBGA DDR memory, while the straight Guru has 128MB DDR memory...what does this mean? I have the latter...

well actually it's at 486/634 atm (XT is 500/600), that's the max of the vGuru and ati tool sliders, so i need to get off my ass and get rivatuner to go further (it's still very cool and artifact free at these speeds)...

the Turbo is probably like a "Golden Sample" board which is confirmed to oc better or something. also, the turbo probably has a temp monitior, but it's all guesses.

ah ok.

This has a temp monitor too, thats whay i was wondering if i can flash it to an XT bios...?

Anyway i'm at 500/634 with rivatuner now....

EDIT: at 500/650 atm, have to play some farcry and CS:S and give it a good test...
