It has a turbo Switch: Dual BIOS unique features to manually OC the card (modes: Normal / Turbo)

Golden Sample is quite an old branding for Gainward. I figured it meant that they had hand picked the best GPU's for overcocking.
gaming: E4400@2.66GHz / P5K-E / 2x1GB PC8000@533MHz / 2x80GB D'Max 9-RAID0 + 320GB / 8800GTS 512MB / ViewSonic VX2835wm
server+media: P4 2.8GHz @ 2.4GHz / 775Dual-VSTA / 2x512MB PC3200 / 1000GB+500GB+250GB / HD2400pro
also: P3 for the mrs and a linux box and probably enough bits to build another one
