So where are we then?

My 7 year-old cards work perfectly in my 3 year-old computer.

Crappy is not the machine but the person using it, no matter how new the machine is.

Actually Creamware could put Backing Music on their website.I can just hear it,"Hello darkness my old friend,I've come to talk with you again..........",The sound of Silence!!!

Actually,of course I'd be disappointed if Creamware did change over to pi-x pci-e or whatever,because anything other than my Luna 2s I don't need.It would of course be for Cubase,Nuendo and NI or the likes and AMD,Intel ASUS etc.Then Creamware would have to follow.

Luna2 working fine here on 6-months old Athlon 64 setup. Better than ever in fact, thanks to the mongo freak PCI performance.

Agreed, I've got an Athlon 64 rig using a Gigabyte nForce 3 motherboard with Firewire 800 built in. Pretty state of the art. Not bleeding edge, but it wasn't the Creamware angle that kept me away from the newer nForce 4 motherboards. It was the news from the cubase.net forum that every manufacturer's products from MOTU, to RME, to M-Audio were crapping out because the addition of PCI-Express lanes to the system bus was causing all kinds of problems.

While some of them have been ironed out, many have not.

Buying something new because it's new is stupid, buying something that you know will work because you've researched the ins and outs of the product is the only way you'll avoid a potentially catastrophic mess/waste of time.

You want a closed system with no hassles that works, drop $15,000 on a Pro-Tools system. You want to create an open system which rivals it and gives you choices, and there are a few comprimises you will have to research and make for yourself. But don't let your reluctance to do that work give you license to whine.
