Thanks very much for the info - very useful. I imagine we'll have PCIe motherboards for a fair while, even if PCI is disappearing . I was thinking of using a PCIe-to-PCI adapter with the RME HDSP 9632 as I'd like to put the card in a small form box (mini-ITX). Almost none of those have 32-bit PCI slots. I guess there could be some danger of the adapter causing problems though... Cheers, Nem |
