Thanks again...Phillip -- I just wanted to share my experience with this DVD thing, I bought a VST Ultratek/66 from OWC and the "Audio Studdering" disappeared... the Sonnet card replacement worked. The first thing I tried was an audio CD thru iTunes, smooth playback, then a DVD, a concert disc in 9.1 & the Wired4DVD card playback improved quite a bit but not perfection...I booted into OSX, VST firmware upgrade installed "no problem" Audio CD playback very good...DVD worse than 9.1, but much better then the Sonnet ATA100. S900 performance seems to be fine so far....I think the VST card is a winner! -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
