I also leave my computer on a lot of the time, and the card is defenately
getting pushed a bit if there is a screensaver on.
Anyway the is a cooler called a 3dfx cool, which is quite good and costs +/-
$30.00 and that will keep your card nice and cool all the time and it is
quiet. It is also said that a cooler card can give up to a 30% speed
increase, but I am not sure of this.
Anyway hope that i helped you a bit
