A sad sad relisation...
Its a very sad moment when you realise your sound card was manufatured by PC-Chips.
  Has anyone else every has one of these realizations after they've been using a product for a while? |

OH yes! When I installed the final WinXP release candidate. Realized that the ESS chips for Compaq's sound are basically useless after WinME. So, rather that play Red Alert and Age of Empires silently, I went back to 98.

Yeah. When I upgraded my P133 to a PII and my ISA sound card wasn't compatible. I bought a PCI sound card.
I had to realize that PCI cound cards don't produce accurate DOS sound. . .it was in feb 1999. .. I had some dos games that I really loved, and then I had to give up their nice sound. .. . RJ

I bought a SoundBlaster Live! X-gamer and I've had no problems with DOS games. The emulation is flawless.
My sad realization was this MSI K7T266 mobo. After opening the box I discovered that this model wasn't the one which includes RAID and USB 2.0. I was shocked!
