very unprofessional to review the first of its generation videocard only at oced settings and not at reference clocks. they should have done reference clocks vs oced vs competition, not only to know how ref compares to the competition, but also to get an idea how much faster an oced 9600gt is, how it scales, how fast itll be vs other mfgs oced 9600gts that have higher or lower oced settings etc...
First generation samples are really bad overclockers, lucky, retail samples will be second wave in most cases. I will soon have both revision at my side, comparing what exactly NVIDIA changed. I tell you, the difference is huge, at least 50MHz!
