H Gang,

I completely agree wth Jose's opinion of the Card Deluxe.  The audio quality
coming out of it is sterling.    But one warning: it apparently must be used
with the Intel motherboard.  In a recent update I tried another brand with a
non-Intel CPU & with the card installed, the computer wouldn't boot up, so
stick to Intel.

I'm running Sound Forge 4.5 on a Pentium 4 1.7.  I think that it's an
incredibly powerful tool that's disproportionately inexpensive as compared
to other utilities costing many more times its price.

Best,
Shiffy
