So i was feeling good because I just upgraded my pc to a new Athlon64 3000+ chip with fancy shmancy motherboard and the whole deal, only to find out that my MOTU 2408MKII wouldn't work! I even exchanged the motherboard for one with the Nforce III chipset instead of a VIA one and still nothing...
Turns out the MOTU PCI 324 card is NOT COMPATIBLE with hyperthreading or (in AMD's case) hypertransport technology! It took a while for the MOTU tech support guy to come out directly and tell me that and then try to sell me on the 424 card.
Anyway, Im keeping the PC, wanted to warn everybody who didn't know, and am now unwittingly in the market for a new soundcard. Gonna hawk the 2408 on Ebay, and try to find something with ADAT Lightpipe, 4-8 ins, and maybe firewire since now i'm kind of dissilusioned with the PCI bus.
the m-audio 1814 is at the top of my list right now, anybody using that?
the firepod looks cool...i wouldn't want to go anymore expensive than that...also that layla3g looks like it would fit the bill nicely, tho its pci. any other suggestions? sorry for posting a "which soundcard?" thread, but if it weren't for this damn compatibility issue...
