Has anyone tried the new dual unit from Zalman?

I need to get a new video card soon but want to make sure it is as quiet as
possible. I realize I'll need to get the fan for this but I'm hoping it
will be queiter than the stock fan.

I do hope that your retail therapy brings you speedy relief and restores you
to ambidexterity.

Does the stock fan really bother you? I can't hear mine (9800Pro). The
X800's fan is larger and spins far more slowly.

I've done my best to silence my PC so the loudest compoenent is the stock
fan on the video card.

The word at Tom's Hardware is that the x800 runs cooler than the 9700 and
9800 series.
