I read a lot about people having a AWE 64 PCI soundcard by Creative. On the
Creative Labs Website there is a 128 POCI card, but I read everywhere that
the AWE 64 is a ISA card...

Who knows the truth??

thanks

I have a SB PCI64, having no problems at all (incl. gameport).
Haven't tried 3d sound though. Ah well, GPL doesn't use it anyway.
Note, it's not a AWE64.
If I recall correctly , I have seen it (the PCI64) on the Creative site, but
only after some searching around.

There are two PCI 64 Cards from Creative (Ensoniq). The PCI 64V is the readily
available one and uses the Ensoniq 1371 chip. It can handle up to 8MByte MIDI
Banks and is EAX compatible.

The other card is the PCI 64D which is usually only availabe as an OEM option
in computers such as Gateway. These card differ from the 64V in that they have
an Ensoniq 1373 chip and SPDIF digital output.

Both these cards sound god and perform well but have a major flaw. They can;t
handle Digital joysticks such as the MS Sidewinder series. For this reason I
have just replaced the PCI 64V in my machine with an Diamond MX300.

Hope this load of techno mumbo jumbo helps.

I believe (though may be wrong here) that people are refering to Creative's
version of the Ensoniq Audio PCI 64 card, which has wavetable sound on it. I
don't think it's actually marketed with the "AWE" moniker though. I have an
Ensoniq card that happily runs the SB PCI64 drivers with no problem.

I can clear this one up for a change...

The AWE64 is an ISA CARD.

There _is_, or _was_, a PCI64 that was a PCI model.

: they had a PCI 64, it sucked ass.
: the awe 64 is a great card, its ISA.
