Albatron - I've personaly seen that card clocked at 330/720 stable. very effective cooling on that card. Also it's the only ti4200 card I'm aware of that uses 3.3ns BGA RAM. The down side is it's also one of the most expensive TI4200 cards out there.

I don't know what the quality of the video card might be, but Newegg has the Albatron card you listed in their Refurb section for $99.

i have this card, and on stock cooling it is doing 315/715 no artifacts. im sure if i put some better cooling on it, it would go higher.

I have a albatron ti4280P. It isnt the best overclocker :( . I can get the core to about 300ish before games start freezing up for a few seconds and the memory up to 559 before artifacts appear. Sucks the memory overclocks so baddly. Although ive yet to have problems with mine and it is MUCH better than my old g2 mx400 :p .

Hi, at this stage in the game. i wouldnt bother with a G4 anymore. why you may ask. well there AA and AF features suck for one. no DX 9 support. solution: get a FX5600 Ultra (flip chip one) 400/800 2.8 ns Hynix. they run as fast if not faster and do AA and AF almost as well as the FX 5900's ;) just a suggestion. 'im currently in the hunt for a (cheaper) FX5900 to replace my faithfull old ti 4200 ! which has been one HELL of a card !!! but its time to move on :(
