As a matter of fact, he answered my email about an hour after I sent it... at 
about 12am last night! Even continued chatting with him throughout the day as 
to the status of intel cards, which ADD2 cards are available, HDMI, HDCP, 
etc.

Very nice guy, extremely helpful :)

Still no response from XGI though, I was hoping to have them stay as an option 
should I decide I need more than the embedded graphics will give me.

PS: My main PC I use for video editing has been packed up for my move, so 
it'll probably be another 1.5-2 weeks before I get October's meeting up.
