I'm using a GV-600 w/ no complaints.  I downloaded the last version of the
software v6.1 that doesn't use a dongle.  The software can be a bit quirky
installing and there are problems using it with VIA chipset motherboards.
You'll need Direct-X 9.0 installed prior to installing the software.  But
once installed, the software has been trouble free.
