My wife composes, and for playback she has used an Audigy2 PCI card in
her desktop machine for years.   That computer is beyond it's last legs

composing and playback.)

The problem is that she uses the Midi feature of that card and has
sound fonts that she loads (about 126 MB in size) into it.  She has
given up trying to find one and has asked me to help... but so far I've
struck out.

Are there ANY PCIE sound which is roughly the equivalent of the Audigy
2 cards?   I won't say "money is no object", but I'm approaching the
point where cost is less important than finding such a card if on
exists.

Any pointers on this issue will be greatly appreciated.

One possibile option that sort of side-steps the problem might be a PCIe - PCI adapter, such as

http://www.startech.com/Cards-Adapters/Slot-Extension/PCI-Express-to-PCI-Adapter-Card~PEX1PCI1
http://www.beaglesoft.com/pcie2pci.htm

Mind you I dont have any experience with such products, and then there's the question of whether the lot actually fits in the chassis at all.
