I use a passivley cooled 6600GT, from Gigabyte I paid 166 for the AGP version, the PCIe version is now 155. Also note that the nV Silencer aftermaket HSF oare dead quiet and move a lot of air.

Tech Geek: I wish I had a spare 6600GT that I could send you so you could test it with your hardware. I know I had stuttering with SageTV and MediaPortal with almost all Digital OTA stuff until I got one. The troubling thing is that the 9600pro and 9700pro, especially should have been able to meet the 10GB/sec criteria with no problem. I still can't figure out why I couldn't get the 9700pro to work.
