i just ordered this one, the silent fanless version with dual DVI outputs.. anyone have this one? any problems with this one in protools? looked like a good buy to me $120 Silent + Dual display outputs, hope it works out good

I have got the Asus 8600 GT 256 MB silent.
Running well, gets a little hot though.

I recommend strongly that you DO NOT install the Asus GamerOSD utility!
It caused quite some trouble for my rig (BSODs), as it seems to operate on a deep system level!

TCM, thanks for the info. i wouldnt have known about that. is the gamerOSD part of the driver installation? would i opt for a custom install of software components? or just an add-on included thats strictly optional? ... i ask this because i usually just install all recommended software by default, i'll keep an eye out for this though. should be here within a day or two

Well, I got the machine built according to my specs in a computer shop, so I actually don't know.
It wasn't a problem at all to uninstall it, as the gamerOSD shows in the "Add or Remove programs" list.
I figure that you should have the choice when installing the drivers. Should not be a problem.
