And perhaps the manufacturer matters.
It *has* happened on many ATI cards. IIRC, the Powercolor X1600XT actually did not squeal, but the Asus X1600XT definitely does. Both the X800XL (Rosewill) and X800XT (Gigabyte) I had squealed, as well. However, the motherboard chipsets (ATI Xpress200 in an ST20G5 system and ATI Xpress200 on a Jetway A210GDMS-Pro motherboard) do not.
My best guess would be some power regulator on the card not liking how DW is using it, and as the power regulators used vary GREATLY by manufacturer (Asus vs Gigabyte vs Powercolor, etc), that could explain why so many people hear squealing.
EDIT: If everyone who posted here wouldn't mind posting in
the other thread, to help narrow this down - that'd be great!
