Actually you can get dual PCIe SLI boards for much cheaper than the dual-proc Tyan from companies like Asus, MSI and/or Gigabyte. <a href="http://usa.asus.com/prog/spec.asp?m=A8N ... s=09">Asus A8N-SLI Dlx</a> would be my choice.

I had a Plextor burner once and it died something like one week out of the 1-year warranty. Generally they are great drives but they're overpriced and occasionally qualitatively not very different from the other drives on the market.

The ATI card should go down to maybe 64, and firewire should go down even lower to 32. In a realtime recording application, the firewire interface will be doing the least work (if any), whereas the video card still has to swap around between all those SFP and sequencer windows, so it will be doing ...

I think for us the main point of using this tool is to ensure that Scope gets enough attention/priority from the PCI bus to do its thing. In order to have a stable system, however, we need to make sure that every device in the system is running smoothly. Every device's priority timeslice must be ...

It's more likely a fault of the operating system and its built-in hardware support. The crashes are probably due to your USB2 controller sharing an IRQ with your Scope soundcard. You can verify this in Device Manager under View -> Resources by Type. Try moving your Scope card to a different PCI slot ...
