The Zalman is rated at 20dba, I cant tell you which is quieter in real life though. I have the 300w Q technology psu and it's more quiet than my 12db papst fan...

How about this: Most of the cards we are talking about now are pretty inexpensive. You could buy a TNT2, GeForce2MX, Matrox and compare them side by side....
