Things popped off-list there for a bit, see above for some stuff Ralf
provided. I just started wondering if I could even use the 1010 if I
got that, since I'm not sure if I have any PCI ports at all. I have a
few express ports, but lspci only shows this about regular PCI:
00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 PCI Bridge (rev 92)
Not sure what that means. I have a firewire port though, maybe that is
actually the way I should be looking.

Interesting. Did you perform or have sources for
measurements? Or is this a
technical limitation of USB MIDI? And if so, could you elaborate on that?
Thanks,
Flo

I already have one of those super cheap MIDI USB devices, and in
addition to what Ralf is saying above, which I can't confirm or deny,
it's been nothing but trouble.
As for eBay, yeah, I noticed already yesterday that there are always a
bunch of the Delta 1010 for sale, but for big stuff like this, not
many sellers ship abroad, and I live in Europe.

I wouldn't put too much weight on MIDI. You can get USB midi devices for

[off-list] since my provider's server is blackhole listed and mails
don't come through the list at the moment.
USB MIDI devices do cause too much jitter. Further to my RME's PCIe
MIDI, I use two TerraTec EWX 24/96 PCI cards, for MIDI only. Such a
TerraTec or any other simple stereo Envy24 card does cost around 30
EUR/USD at Ebay and does protect against too much MIDI jitter. For
serious MIDI work one hw interface anyway isn't enough.

Hello Arve!
For what it's worth: As far as I know, having a pci bridge listed, means,
that it's part of the motherboard. Not sure, if pcie ports are part of that or
if it is just a a few chips, which are there, because it's cheaper to have
them, than to produce something entirely new. If you really don't see any pci
ports as such, I wouldn't go for a pci card.
Take this with a big pinch of salt, until anyone can confirm or utterly deny
it. :-)
Warmly yours
Julien

Look at the mother board, if the slot is there its there, if not, there is
something on the MB that uses the pci IF... just as a lot of "on board"
stuff uses USB interfaces (webcams, SD ports etc) PCI and PCIe are
physically different, the PCIe is a lot smaller.

Well, my motherboard is this, so I guess I'm safe:

Yes, 2 PCI slots.

I have the same motherboard and run a pair of Delta 1010s with it.
It works well.
Cheerio...
