I told the value of the siemens software under windows - did'nt use the tech 
patch so far, maybe i should for comparison.
BTW, if the card switches back to horizontal by it's own (after getting hot) 
it's a problem with the voltage i guess? That would fit into the cable being 
to long.
That's really a trouble - the old card has a broken mmap-grabbing and the new 
card switches back to horizontal after 3 hours of operation despite cooling 
and not feeling really hot. Should i return both to Siemens?
