what are the pros and cons of both?

Hi, does anyone know why when I just installed a new Matrox G450 card, that now my firewire card does not work. Both my external hard drive and audio interface now do not connect to my computer. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I was trying to use the WDM driver with Wavelab at the studio. Cud not get it to work full duplex (i cud not monitor through wavelab) so i has to resort to either ASIO or cuemix.

Is this a restriction with the WDM driver of the 324. (i have the latest drivers) ? or was i doing something wrong.. my IO were set right.

thanks

People,

Perusing my latest edition of PC Magazine (August), I came across an article entitled: "A New Era For Desktops." The article discusses the new Intel (64-Bit ready) Chipset releases (915 & 925); and the various innovative technological improvements associated with new bus, storage & memory architectures.

Hey, i'm new here, howzit?

I have an m-audio mobilepre (USB) that feeds my cakewalk homestudio. I find that latency tends to be a real pain. after every take, I have to go and re-align by hand so the timing matches up. would this be reduced significantly with a PCI soundcard? I don't want to spend the money if not.

I currently have a Mac G4 with an m-audio 2496 PCI card, two ART preamps and a Roland VM-3100Pro digital mixer ($200, eBay), which I use to give me two more inputs and preamps via the digital inputs on the 2496. Everything is fine, though the VM-3100 is way too obscure for me to do anything with it besides simple mixing.

Hey Gang!

I just spent the last year and half deciding on the Mobo for my DAW and now I'm reading about pcI-x and how its up to 32 times faster on things,, sigh!

I haven't even aHD a chance to break in the mobo, do I consider an upgrade alreay? if so the benefits would be ?

Heard something about the pci-slots in the new G5 macs, that they are of a new standard and that "older" pci-cards (audiointerfaces, UAD-1, powercore...) won't work and have to be replaced/updated. Anyone know if this is true ?

What’s the consensus USB 2, Firewire, PCI? In order of preferance with new motherboards and sound/interfaces - what's your preferance for the faster desktops? Informal poll.

Here's my dilemma ...

I'd love to hear what you would choose in this situation.

I'm just starting out in PC recording.

I have a Desktop computer in my basement office.
I also have a wireless laptop.
