    Most people want the best sound card....NOT I

    AOpen 744 is probably the cheapest with digital output, I'm *guessing* that its around $30US (I live in Australia) I've got the Fortissimo 2, but the digital output doesn't work right at all...and it isn't just my card. It's around $50US

    Can you make a "backup" of a DVD w/ a DVD-Burner? (like the PIONEER A03)

    Cool, though I've never seen 17gig blanks DVD being sold anywhere. I think they only 4gig & 9gig DVDs to stop pirate copies of DVD movies being made.

    Is there concensus on how much memory XP needs?

    I've got a P3 450mHz :frown: and 320MB works very well with games, playing movies/MP3s, browsing....normal stuff

    How do you overburn

    And if you really need the extra minutes/megabytes, you could just use the 90min CDs that have recently been popping up.

    want a sound card from hercules

    I've got the F2...for music and games its great, but one of the main reasons I bought it was for the optical digital output (to record MP3s onto my MD) and that doesn't work to well at all (I can go into detail if you want). Hercules' R&D department have been notified of this problem and it...
