Howdy Arthur,

What do you mean by "raw output" on the HD-5500?

HDHR isn't PCI, but since you brought it up, is there some other
reason you are rejecting it?  The conclusion I draw from everything I
read is that it is the favorite solution - it just works.  And of
course, has the advantage of not chewing up a PCI slot, so you aren't
tied to a motherboard in the future that has one.

Have fun,

    Marc
