Thanks for the info guys.
I have a SB Platinum on one box for when I have a serious need for professional capture. Been using mostly ISA cards on my main workstations and web runners. My office/studio is small enough that 2 channel for music is fine to rock out to. Thats why I asked about Hercules and if they made any good ISA cards. I probably will have a few running builds with ISA for another couple of years...I like some of my boards that Im running now and they will be fast enough for much of what I do for awhile.
Just bought a K7S5A pro though, but it has onboard sound. If I do get a killer sound card I probably will put it in that to repace the onboard or it will go in my KT7raid build.
Im going to build a small sound recording room and would like to have a dedicated puter for it. Usually we use laptops since they are virtually noise-free, but it would be nice to build a cheap dedicated desktop for the job. Thinking about either underclocking a celly with an oversized heatsink and a very quiet PSU or a VIA ITX board (no fan needed). The nice thing about sound capture is one does not need a super speedy CPU. An 800mhz VIA board or 500mhz celly would do the trick and then some. Actually, the last job I did at a production company, we used a 5x86/AWE32 with a big P4 heatsink, no fan and no case that I built. It was a bit slow saving the tracks to disk, but it worked pretty good considering it was built from junk bought at the goodwill.
I fried that board a couple of weeks ago when the AT PS switch cord rubbed up against a sharp edge of aluminum that was rigged up to hold the drives. It sparked really nice..lol.. and sent current through the floppy drive(killed the floppy drive) into the FDD header. It WAS a nice board...RIP. ;D
