I'd like to find a soundcard that i won't have trouble with. One that won't crackle when used on a KG7 and has driver support for WinXP :D

Terratec looks very nice :cool: I like the DMX Xfire 1024 as i was trying to spend $100 or less. And take a look at this, it was in plain view right under a product description : "Important:
In a few cases, there might occur problems between the XLerate and motherboards using the VIA KX133 / KT133 (e.g. K7 motherboards) due to timing problems during heavy system load. If you own a motherboard with one of the above mentioned chipsets and your are looking for a TerraTec soundcard we recommend the DMX XFire 1024, where this problem does not arise.". Very good in my opinion, as i like to see this info Before i buy a product. ;)

While browsing around i came across the AudioTrak Maya, which looks to be of similar quality to Terratec, and is also right under the $100. Anyone have anything good to say about AudioTrak?

Hercules and Golden Melody, I have used both of these under WinXP and VIA chipsets and they are CHEAP!!
