Great! Thanks Chad!

If I were to buy an HVD card (Currently looking at the 3944AUW series --
more of them and cheaper), will I need to get an HVD cable as well? I
currently have a 68-pin external cable - And didn't specify HVD or LVD -
Any problems in using that for HVD devices?

Thanks again,
Matt
