im looking at getting a new card
http://www.bdt.co.nz/computer/product.asp?item=362129
it must be AGP + have 128 bus + also be quiet ( i record music)
now i dont play games at all (grid wars was the last i played which was maybe 4months ago) so i dont stress the card out for hours on an end
but i do normally run my apps for 1-3 minutes max, but lots of runs hours on end (i dont know if this is good work/rest/work/rest etc)
now this card has no fan, even though im not gonna thrash the card, will it still overheat (im in the southern hemisphere + summers coming up == 35degrees indoors)
i guess what im trying to say is how reliable are passive cooled cards if theyre pretty fast like this one
