There is a 30.82 version, and as "30.82_PC_GF2-3" version for both Win9x and XP
The second ones being larger and later!

Are they (as might be surmised) tuned/bugfixed for the older GF2/3 models ??

Yeah, I noticed it installing a bunch of viddy capture/tv-tuner stuff; but they perform just like the normal 30.82's as far as I can tell.

I'm going back and gonna play with the 31.00's some more, they seemed a bit quicker.
