More Santa Cruz
I bought a Santa Cruz about two weeks ago for my video editing rig. The card is as good as advertised. I had no problems with the installation and have had no problems with it co-existing with an RT2000, a NIC and a 2940UW scsi card. It also has something I have never seen in a consumer card, the ability to use six dicreet outputs with programs like Vegas or Nuendo. Great news for music apps or maybe trying some 5.1 mixes.

It is pretty nice, isn't it? With a surround rig it's awesome.
I see PCAVTech.com has rated it at the top of their non-Gold card list. Gold level cards are expensive hardware, so having a consumer card even come close is something.
Gold cards get a 5 rating while the TBSC got a 7 for both analog and digital. The SBLive gets an 11 analog, 12 digital.

Glad you like yours...However...
Combat flight Sim II crashes after a few minutes on the TB SC. Usually sound just stops, and then a few seconds later I get a BSOD with fatal exception errors referring to the SC driver. I have to turn off direct sound acceleration to prevent the errors.
I also do a lot of Divx conversion from DVD (MPEG-4 vid, MP3 sound). These just plain lock up the system. Turning off Direct sound does not help. Before you say it might be something else, I can reinstall my Aureal SQ2500 and everything works great. Unfortunetely, I dual boot to W2k, so I need something that works in both OS's.
About ready to dump the SC...will make someone a deal...Comment
