Got the 256 bit card. It went in to the box easy except I had to move the USB 3 card down a slot cause the graphics card has a big fan sticking down. Just turned on the machine and windows found it and installed it. I then (as recommended by the manufacturer), installed the new drivers instead of the windows drivers.
card works fine.
Bummer is I still have no Bluray playback. I need new software. The Cyberlink software is crap. It simply does not do what they say it will. I know this because their utility keeps telling me the video card is not capable of blue ray but I can play the Blu Ray one chapter at a time using DVD Fab and its beautiful with the new card. So its definitely a Cyberlink software issue and i will never install their $hite software on one of my machines again.
So anyway success in the hardware department and now I need to bird dog some software. I am hoping for freeware but if worse comes to worse , I know the Arcsoft theater suite 5 works . Its $69 but I seldom if ever pay for software so this will be a test of will power.
