I dont want to go into a long story but I will say I had big problems with a ATI 9800XT I got about 2 years ago. Replaced it twice under the warrenty. I had the squeal you speak of all 3 times. I say 3 because the last time it was out of warrenty and did not get replaced. I belive the problem is with the fan on the ATI's. They crap out, and that is the squeal. And after awile the card over heats and PUFF! The last time it only blew out wile playing BF2. Ran DW no prob. But I never plyed DW at high res and I hardly ever look at the 3d image.
