Although drivers are one thing. Software that supports the inputs and actually works appropriately to do that kind of recording is another. Although I shouldn't be snarky. I bet there's stuff out there that can do it. I just don't have any experience with it. True. Although drivers are one thing.

No need for "I told ya so" though. It's a good idea for what you wanted to use it for. It's just weird because everyone used to want Creative cards, but the onboard ones have gotten good enough to where it almost doesn't even matter. If you weren't wanting the recording functionality, I'd say it was a waste, but I don't think there are any onboard ones that can record that well. Hopefully they get their drivers sorted out soon so that you can get full usage out of the thing! Also, I see M-Audio offers linux drivers too :) Those cards look pretty cool too.

The Win 7 forum was a big help in fixing my memory problem. I'm not sure where I would have found a place to get the proper guidance to avoid that compatibility issue. You can say "I told you so" about the X-fi. The current Creative drivers still don't work completely. I should have gone with my one of these: http://www.m-audio.com/index.php?do=products.family&ID=PCIinterfaces for less money. Hindsight is 20/20. All in all though, it's all working really well. I'll let you know how the recording goes. One of the first up will be "House at Pooh Corner" for Lily, you, Harm, Megan, Matt, and Lauren.Thanks again to you and Usama for all the advice.
