PearlDiver,
Despite the fact you are AMD, you might want to ask yourself how important this is to you. I am not saying Intel is the answer but I can tell you I have never had any problems - ever.
Motherboards are cheap and chips ain't too bad either. Think about what it is you want to accomplish. Too many people on these boards lose sight of what it is we are really trying to do here - writing, recording and making music.
My motto - If my wallet (within reason) or equipment is ever holding me back, then maybe I am in the wrong hobby/business/passion. Clicks and pops and "this doesn't work" and that doesn't work" are so minor to me in the grand scheme of things. For me - my creation of music and digital media is paramount and I will take and investigate any advice to arrive at a place where I am not hampered by technology. I need gear that works day in, day out - all the time - every time.
That is not not to say that I have a bottomless pit of cash - I am just as strapped as the next guy - but I buy carefully and I buy properly. Best advice I took for the Delta card was to get an ASUS motherboard with a Intel CPU. This was after 3 months of investigation - but it works like a dream. No downtime here.
You came to the forum looking for help - You never did say what was wrong with your Delta - I would like to know.
Curious question: Why AMD anyway? I have heard that certain configs work well but not well enough to get me to buy one.
And finally to answer your question - For my company, we use the entire Sonice Foundry Suite (Forge, Acid and Vegas) plus Steinberg Nuendo and next week Cubase SX for our multitrack apps.
Cheers,
Cuzin B
