Hi, what's the best soundcard? 
Joke...
Ok, my spanking new PC arrives Saturday, and my final spec will be:
Pentium 4 HTT 3.6gHz, 2Gb RAM, 80Gb + 200Gb HD, Win XP home, Matrox G550 Dual-DVI running dual 17" TFT monitors, Yamaha SW1000XG, Cubase SX3, Sound Forge 8, XV Editor.
I'm looking at getting a second soundcard simply so I can run softsynths. The latency is truly awful on the SW1000, where you hit the key, and the softsynth sounds about a second later...
Not looking for tons of i/o, just some SPDIF, analog i/o and the lowest latency I can get so I can run all those nice softsynths I read about. I remember being in someone's home studio a year or so ago, and being green with envy when there was no noticeable latency...
The E-mu 0404 has got the basic i/o I need and is very cheap (cheap as in I bought SX3 and Forge 8 this afternoon.....). Any good latencywise?
Advice would be most helpful, thankyou!
