Is it just me, or are these SBLive upgrades an innovative thing? As far as I can recall, with all other add-on boards/devices, you install your hardware, you install the drivers, and that's it. New driver releases are either bug fixes, or they add support for new operating system releases. But these SBLive upgrades are different; they seem to be adding new functionality to the hardware. How are they doing this? Did the SBLive card always support these new features, but the drivers didn't? Or do the cards have some kind of flash bios, which is being rewritten by the upgrades to make the hardware do new things? Or is is just that these new features are supported entirely in software? Doug.
