The secret appearently is, when you first plug the card into your machine, it boots up at 475MHz VPU and 1.00GHz Memory. After installing Abit's uGuru FATALITY software, the system speeds up to the real stock speeds of the VPU and Ram being 500MHz Core and 1.20GHz (1.6ns) Memory.
With a little overclocking, I can see this thing running 550MHz Core 1.25GHz Memory with little effort. For $219US, its gonna be a hard card for me to choose between that or the Gainward Goldensample 1.6ns 6600GT!.
This card is seriiously worth checking out if your out there looking for a good upgrade but dont wanna spend too much cash.
Also look at the cooling this graphics card uses, which is solid copper heatsinks on both the VPU and Ram.

Here is the card I'm comparing it with. Its gonna be a tough decision from the looks of it. The Gainward 6600GT comes with Hand picked 6600GT GPUs that run stock 540MHz garanteed and 1.6ns memory as well that does 1.2GHz at stock after drivers are installed.
