Be sure to pick up the latest drivers if you don't have them already. HTH, Iacobus ------- RodelWorks - Original Music for the Unafraid mD's ACIDplanet Page

If you are going to do those things I would recommend getting a pci interface unless you are doing mobile/laptop stuff in which case the Tascam is just ok. I don't know if your stuff would really sound like "s#@t" even if you did use your onboard sound device. As usual it sounds like some desperate sales guy was using fear to get you to drop some cash. I'm not saying that this person is incorrect, but unless you are planning to do audio professionally, most onbaord audio is pretty good. Any how, maybe if you could let us know what it is you are trying to accomplish, so we could guide you a little better. Luceses
