well finally got the new card via "snail UPS" Got it installed just fine! Now I have at least 5 new snakes wiggling through my case! Not only does the I/O drive need to connect to the card via an AD_EXT cable and a IEEE 1394 firewire cable, but you also have to power the I/O and run digi-cables to your CD/DVD drives! OOFDAH!!!! Ran it through it's paces and figured out that between the new Vidcard and the new soundcard working together on a DVD...... I NEED MORE RAM! bummer! It will take me months to learn how to utilize all the software facets! The user interface is really a little ( ok, a lot)inadequate. ie: the equalizer looks and functions like a 6 yr old put it together. but the good part is that it came with Rainbow 6 and TombRaider "angel of darkness"!!!

That's too many wires for me. Mine has none. Digital sound through the pci bus.

My mother says I'm trying too! the instructions say that I can dump the wires if my OS has "compact disc digital audio" (CDDA) enabled..... .....Geez! ;D all I have to do NOW is figure out how to do that! it came with some second party software called Cubasis VST4 that looks pretty interesting!

Look under cd rom in the device manager and check box to enable digital sound.

Scored on a card of SimpleTech 512 MB PC2700 DDR RAM for just $70 yesterday! HOT DOGGIE OYAK!
of course it gets retro'ed since my board only can handle 2100, but the price was right! Now, I am burning up my beastie with 768 MBs of heart thumping RAM-bo!
Gonna throw a DVD in now and try to stress it out! (or give it hemmoriods: whichever comes first! ) ;D
