The Overclocker Cafe' has posted a review of Albatron's 512 MB VGA card, the GeForce 6600 - 512. Sure it sports four times the memory of your average 6600 GT but it also has a lower core clock and DDR2 memory also running at a lower frequency. How does it all add up? Here's a snip from the OC Cafe's review. That's right, 512 MB of onboard memory on a midrange product! To accomplish this, Albatron shifted from the very familiar DDR3 graphics memory to DDR2. The core and memory speeds have also been dropped down from the GeForce 6600 GT. The big question that remains is can a product with half a gig of memory and slower core/memory speeds best a card clocked higher with 1/4 of the memory? How much difference will quadrupling the memory give and at what cost? The 6600 GT retails for around $130 at present so Albatron is taking on a real challenge with development of another card in the 6600 line given the success and bang for the buck of their current offering.
