RE: Win MCE Rollup2



I have one of those... Nice card :)

I found that the ATI supplied cooler got really loud and rattly after six
m=
onths or so (in regular use rather than MCE in my case) so I swapped it
for=
one of these:

(actually, I used the previous version)

The really nice thing about these cards (unlike the nvidia ones), you can
r=
un video on either monitor - the nvidia cards allow overlay on the primary
=
monitor only, whilst the ATI ones support vide on both screens.

This is the one I'm using:

But I have the 256Mb version (makes no bloody difference for running video

under MCE)

Can't remember where I bought it but this looks like it:
