I don't know if that's true (could be , but the hottest graphic cheep that
I saw scratched 95c - and I wouldn't go out and buy that), but even if it
is , it shouldn't change one way or the other for your other cards. if
you're really worried about this - make sure that there is a one empty
slot between the card (it's AGP, so no problem with the other side) and
the next. and make sure that all your vents work .. that should handle
anything . if your really worried - get an extra vent.. but first I'd
suggest you check it out, coz I do't think that it is true, orif it was -
that it is true anymore. I'll look into that myself..
