bizarre. i run both cards, and they seem to perform equally as well, except
for the fact that the 128 doesn't come with hardware midi. not a problem
these days, since most apps seem to use midi emulation these days. was an
annoyance last year, when i was playing lxdoom.
the 128 was also easier to configure, but the awe drivers have better
resource detection/setting these days.

i agree!

aha!

i guess so. maybe the length of the ISA connector strip is an integer
fraction of the radio station's wavelength while the PCI isn't. :P
