I know that PCI-E slots will cause problems for AMD, but does this hold true for the intel chipsets 945, 955? Is it best to steer clear of the PCI-e in favor of AGP regardless of chipset/processor?

IIRC - Intel's 945-955 Chipsets should be dandy for PCI-E Graphics w/o hampering audio performance. My "Everything" PC is a Intel 930 Dual Core (3.9GHz per core 8-) ) with an Asus P5WD2-Premuim MoBo, and a simple M-Audio Audiophile soundcard, and I have no issues down to the cards minimum latency - but I'm not using much I/O (this is a mixing system, I track on other PC's).

If you eliminate PCI-Express PEG, then you are eliminating pretty much any hopes of a Dual Core system (It is rumored that the good old 865 will support Dual-Cores, but I have not seen any implementations of that yet).

:cool:

HI,

well at the risk of not sounding right....

ok with the discontinued Nforce 3, issues with Nforce 4, UAD issues with almost everything etc etc
finding a killer mobo for X2 Dual Core that was 100% compatible with everything was a very expensive (both in labor and buying products)
affair.

with some of our competitors taking our R&D in the past and tons of people using our website as a shopping list
we decided not to disclose it.
