They suck.  Compatibility.  Or lack thereof.  Yes, I know - directsound
and all that guff but I still like my old DOS games.  Why not fit both,
I hear you ask, simple answer - no more PCI slots.  I suppose if I got a
Matrox Marvel G200, I could reclaim two PCI's (graphics card and vid-
cap)

Mmmmm... surround sound...

The SB Live uses some of the machine's main RAM though, doesn't it?
Does it also have a *proper* full duplex?
