My G400 Max's fan is getting noisy. Is it possibly to run the card without the fan?

What's G400 Max's optimum refresh rate? I'm running 1600 x 1200 at 85Hz (monitor recommended resolution and refresh rate) on my 22" CRT NEC FP2141SB and it's giving me headache. Now I moved up to 104Hz. It's better but still not that comfortable to stare at. Any thoughts or it's time to upgrade...

I am willing to spend about 300 for the card. I would use it to play games like Doom3. I would also like to be able to watch TV on my computer. I have seen ads for cards with TV out but my guess is that I need TV in. I have a 2G cpu TIA

Hi all, I'm using a G400max, and I recently upgraded my win98se to XP Home (SP1). I installed the latest Matrox driver (5.88.061) on XP. I want to use the "Dual Head Clone" feature (as I was doing in win98), to get a "copy" of my display on my TV set.
