I got a SB Live Player 1024 and was wondering what was eating 2-3MB of RAM. I only have 32MB as well and it's made an awful difference. I was thinking the Creative S3 Savage4 card was the culprit but from this it is almost certainly the soundcard. Does ne1 know a way to stop the SB Live Player 1024 from grabbing RAM as current memory prices rule out my getting that 128MB PC100 DIMM :-( Apart from that though, it's a wonderful card-- the analog line-out sounds damned good, the SB16 emulation works fine with everything I've tested it with to date, though it did stop me overclocking the PCI bus speed from 33 to 37MHz which really disappointed me. Esp as the videocard was still happy at 44MHz as far as I could tell! Again I apologise for off-topic PC stuff postings, pls just delete this if you are annoyed. Please.
