Not impossible, its been several months since I last booted into memtest,

I used to drool over the 2496, but then with my musical talents having been 
tested & found wanting some, (the school band needed a double b-flat player 
54 years ago, so guess who got volunteered, besides, the double b-flat and 
I sing in the same key) so I settled on this Audigy2 Value, which 
considering its cost of about 70 bucks at the time, is an amazingly capable 
card, 24 bit it claims & unlike the 16 bit soundblaster, is a lot harder to 
run out of headroom with.

Cheers, Gene
