And its not easy to know for people if they do or not, its a bad time at the moment for that since there is no general design for GPU's, since ATI and Nvidia cards do things differently.

They should get together and actually come up with a permanent solution to the problem so it doesnt cost the consumer a lot of money on trial and error.

Thanks for this info. You certainly make a good point. The firm that supplied mine probably were not even aware that it would not do the job.
