When I had a similar issue I toasted 2 video cards an 1 MoBo. Who would have thought a video card would do something like this??? I just don't want anyone else having to go through the same headaches. I had a hard time tracking down the under powered ps causing the issue. I never bothered looking at the sys req's of the video card...now I know better.

With it being 64 bit and dual core, yes it does make a bit of difference.
