Then we are in total agreement. My assumption was that all the crashes inherent in the 95/98 model was due to memory leakage just because they had to build in all that backward compatibility. Either way, I'd never go back now that I have experienced the robustness of NT for 6 months now. Mission critical work should not be interrupted with the volume of crashes that the 95/98 model brings to the table. Thanks for the info. Len

Sound Card and Speakers - any recommendations? Okay, since I'm going to have sound in my trading system to play music, I might as well look for a good sound card. I visited some stores and saw quite a variety. Some were 16, 64, and even 128 - I guess they are talking about number and types of sound it will produce??? Choices at Price Watch included: (what do all these mean?) Wave pnp PCI Full Duplex Digital AWE64 AWE32 3D Which is prefered? I saw some that were ISA or PCI. Price ranged from $15 to $150. Networm gave as his recommendation the Guillemont products Game Theater 64 Sound $99 Home Studio Pro 64 Sound $189 The 128 sound I saw at the store was $99 - can't remember the name. I have not been able to find any reviews on sound cards. Anyone know of any? I also strolled over to the speaker section and listened to a few. I guess the speakers are a personal choice. That being the case, anyone care to offer their experiences with speakers? Regards, S.W. (sean, could you plz respond to my earlier post to Howard?)
