what exactly does the DV stand for? how much of a performance dive is it? i am considering getting an AIW 8500 but it only comes in DV. How does the DV compare to the regular 8500 (games and 2d) and why wouldn't the AIW come without DV?

repeat after me, we are all individuals!

DV stands for Digital Video. The AIW R8500DV is a multimedia card designed for TV Tuning and Analog/Digtal video capture. The AIW R8500DV should match the original GF3 in performance which is about 15% slower than the R8500.
