I thought about changing the mother board, but I'm afraid that the m-audio won't work with any Z68 chipset-based motherboard. Could anyone confirm/infirm that? Thanks! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes sense of it. IT sense.
