Thank you for information.

Never say never, but according to my current mood
(which is unchanged for the last 5 years already :),
I will never buy ATI video card again.

And not because of noise and heating of ATI Radeon R4770
but because ATI shamelessly dropped support of their much
advertised parallel computing feature for this video card.

And I am not a fan of NVidia either.

Only small, cheap and fanless on-board video cards
to just manage the monitor!

At least for the next 12 or 15 years. :)
