IOW the question isn't what I actually want, but what I'm able to pay for, without doing a bank robbery.

Intel seems to be much more expensive, at least if the mobo should provide one PS/2 socket and one or two PCI slots. My RME card is a PCIe, but I need an additional MIDI interface and don't want to use an USB interface. Since one of my Terratec PCI cards still works, I'll use this one. Regards, Ralf
