I do admit that a little extra research is required when building a PC rather than going out and buying a Mac you know will work. But lets face it, how hard is it to spend a couple hours online looking for people who have the sound card you're using and emailing them to ask what motherboard they have and what kind of problems they're having with it? Ditto doing some research on how well your prospective card works for people.

It's not rocket science, but it does take some legwork.

Macheads take pride in their shiny boxes that work with little hassle.

PC-heads take pride in their homemade boxes that cost less and work because they were made to work.

That's all there is to it... NEXT!

oh one more thing.... Macworld? What's the big news? Garage Band...

"You don�t have to play the piano. You don�t have to read music. You don�t even have to have rhythm. If you know what you like when you hear it, you can make your own kind of music. With GarageBand."

Apple will save music. God bless them.

shit... that means i need to make some more support calls. i know that the physical slot position can make a difference, but for no good reason i've neglected to actually try that.

the first (and only) time i called Aardvark on my problems, the guy told me about the VIA 'problems' and pointed toward's George's site. that was...October? November maybe.

i've been avoiding my system issues for some time now, i think its high time to dig back in.
