Passive AGP card with DVI-I and preferably VIVO?

[Fat Tone]

Can anyone recommend one? I'd like one so my HTPC has a DVI for when I eventually get a decent 42" plasma TV, and passive for the noise. I'd like VIVO so I can use that to input my NTL set-top box. My Compro DVB card has video-in, but I want to reserve that for other inputs (my plan is to have MCE control the NTL box, and use the Compro card outside of MCE so can effectively have two tuners. MCE can only control 2 tuners if they have identical channel lineups, and DVB-T has far fewer channels than NTL.

If a VIVO capable card can't be found that is passive, it needs to be v. quiet!

Also my integrated GF4 (on my A7n8x/vm-400) corrupts the MCE menus sometimes.

TIA.

I got an ATi 9250/128mb ViVo cheap from EBuyer. Passive cooling and a DVI, performance slightly under 8500/64mb speed in 3dMark2000

Thanks Rich. A 9250 should be fine for my use. I don't suppose you can be more specific as I can't see any with VIVO, although they are lacking a lot of details on their site?

Just wondering: would there be a passive cooler for the Parhelia APVe?
After all, this still is MURC

Don't worry, I found a Club-3D one that is definitely VIVO on Komplett for £33. They also have the MCE 2005 remote so I'll get both from there. E-Buyer aren't listing any VIVO cards, although some of them may be so.
