Default PLEASE POST! Trying to identify game problem w/ hardware

Well, given the amount of traffic my other thread got, I thought I'd throw up a survey and see what gives.

Please, NO DISCUSSION IN THIS THREAD. Simply post in the following format:
yes/no to squeal
make of video card
brand of video chip
model of video card

For example, see my next post for my results.

And please, no useless posts like "I couldn't hear it over my system fans if it did". That's not a "no", it could be squealing to death in your system and seconds away from frying - not knowing doesn't mean it's not happening. Only post a definite 'no' if you run a VERY quiet system, sit fairly close to it (IE., not in the closet on the other end of the room) and can tell for sure if it had any unusual noise to it or not.

A definite 'yes' should be easier to arrange, but please verify that it's not anything else in your system. Sub Command (if you have it) is a great way to test this - SC does not make video cards squeal, DW does.
