<FONT SIZE="5"><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12pt'>I went out today a bought what I thought was a Gigabyte 9500GT 1Gb card but it turned out to be a 9400GT instead (the box said 9500GT!). The supplier does not have any more Gigabyte cards but has ECS and Inno3d versions of the same card so I was wondering if the brand makes any difference. My only real “requirement” is an HDMI output and I would be satisfied with either 512mb or 1GB. I have read that some brands, like Gainward have issues with VDPAU so want to make sure that what I get is compatible with everything else.<BR>
<BR>
If push comes to shove though, I do have a 512MB ASUS 8600GT in my OSX86 desktop that I could pilfer if need be, replacing it with something Mac compatible.....<BR>
<BR>
Any advice appreciated, my planned rebuild of my 3 Myth machines tonight has gone south due to the incorrect package contents :(<BR>

Cheers<BR>
