[QUOTE="geoffstewart, post: 688955, member: 83396"] I ended up with the 1GB ddr2 model... I don't think it matters for video, or at least, I can render my video no problem... perhaps someone will chime in otherwise. As for passive vs. active cooling... you're right, there has to be a reason there are not too many passively cooled 220s around... it might be because it's just too close to not being able to cool properly. The way I see it, if your case is properly vented and can pass air over the graphics card to help move away some heat, passive may work... I my case (pardon the pun), I don't have that... the card is right up against a wall next to the power supply and I need active cooling.... hence the add-on fan. Might just be worth getting a brand you know and trust... try it out... if the fan is too loud, replace it. g [/QUOTE]
