I am really interested in the noise... good/bad?

My memory is faint, but I recall reading that the fan on that gfx card runs at constant speed and is loud.

Play it safe and get a Powercolor 4850 PCS, which throttles the fan. There is also a passive Gigabyte 4850 which seems to be good.

I just read the review of Powercolor 4850 PCS. very quiet, cool and affordable.
Thanks!

Better yet, get any 4850 and slap an Accelero S1 + 120mm fan on that on that. Quiet and cool
