    CCP with a 64 bit OS

    My new card

    Problems with my ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro (I kept getting the Blue Screen with a driver from it, even after System Restore and updates) forced me to ditch it. Anyone have any suggestions for a new one? Mind you it has to be half height/low profile. I don't want another HD 2400, BTW. Right now, I...
