John: Well, I don't really want to flame Ya' John so I won't but whenever someone prefices a remark by, "A Reliable source told me….." He's usually getting ready to talk about something he has no accurate information about at all. <BG> You don't happen to work for a major Libral Publication do Ya'? :->) >> see that my problem was with the 32K memory space requirement, not with the board itself. << Acutally I think David has already pointed out this was a false argument because this 32K memory space is relocatable with QEMM or many other memory managers so you are not loading in the lower 640K…..Since your running 3D Studio I assume your running more than 1MB of RAM..Right?<g?> >>> Take a deep breath and calm down – you'll feel better and live longer! <<< In truth I wasn't going to respond at all except your method of complaint regarding the 32K made it seem like this was being grabbed out of the lower 640K which is false….It doesn't have to be. A simple statement in your Config.sys using a memory manager moves this high…plus the fact that the Monterey does not Use DMA….this is a Major Reason to Buy this Card. Not to Complain. <g> I was concerned that you were putting out "misinformation" regarding a very good product. >>> PS: You sound like an advertisement for Turtle Beach, perhaps a dealer or something. <g> <<< I AM a Dealer for this Product…. I thought I made that Clear. Something about "having sold this product for 3 Years". >> You might want to read Ian Christie's message #145961<< Ian Christie should read the message I posted to you and call Turtle Beach Tech. Support or if he chooses call my rep. Direct to complain if he feels he's not getting proper support. I haven't read that message but I'm sure TB can handle it. I've been selling these Cards for 3 Years and Have yet to have a problem related to the Card or it's drivers in a single setup….usually clients try to get away with sharing an address with another device…the BusLogic Controllers is a Great Example. The Card will Seem to work but acts erraticly..it is not in fact the fault of the card or driver but the fact that the end-user usually has no idea that his Controller and his Sound Card are trying to share an address…therefore in the eyes of the end user, it's the cards fault he doesn't know his system well enough to properly configure the devices he's installed on it….Go Figure! I'm surprised John….I thought that you were familier with the "Scientific Method"? <GR&D> BTW Do you happen to have a list of all the Addresses and Interupts used by the devices in _Your_ Computer. <BG> LaTER!
