AIW 8500 Cards

[GermyBoy]

Why are there two ATI AIW 8500 cards? There is the 8500DV which has the FireWire port, and 64MB of ram, and a really cool new connector for VIVO. Then there is the 8500 128MB card, which doesn't have the FireWire port, but does have the older (original AIW Radeon) type of connectors for VIVO.

Is there any reason you know to get one card over the other? I haven't really heard too much about either one except that they are great.

Peace,

Wow, thanks. That really sucks.

I want the get the 8500 128MB version, because I want a new videocard, and if I'm going to spend that sort of money for a nice card, I want dual display (monitor and tv) as well as great VIVO for capturing Smallville on Tuesdays.
