If this is true, then why do you need the productivity mode since in a
previous e-mail, you wrote:
"Yes, the A2320 and the A3000 both de-interlace the hi-res 16 colors as well
 as the HAM modes (4096 at one time)."

Wouldn't you just use the de-interlaced hi-res for productivity?

BTW, My motherboard version is either 4.2 or 4.3, will I need to upgrade this
to make it work with the WB2.0 or A2320?  If so, how & ?$?
