Some very nice soundcards,

Have to re-consider my current set-up.
Maybe try one of these in near future ?
But there are problems with the Asus Essence as you have read (on this forum).
Maybe try the  ESI - Juli@.
The Infrasonic Quartet is harder to get here.

Can you play 24/96 files with your X-fi, Telstar?
Because mine doesn't

Yeah, I've read it. But the essence will go in this computer... still undecided.

Yes, i can play 24/96 (i dont have many, though).

Vista SP1

Well, I now found a most strange problem, of which I assume it is SSD related. Not sure though ! (but I never saw something like it);

At preparing for a nice backup of the OS disk (which is the OCZ Vertex) - this time to go to another SSD being a bit smaller - I had to remove some data from the OS disk, and thought it was good to clean up my XX TemporaryData folder which by now contained 12450 files occupying some 10GB. Although 12450 log files might indicate a very heavy start-stop usage of XXHighEnd Happy it is really not all that much for amount of files, and the 10GB for sure is not. However :

A few days earlier I already tried to delete the logfiles of a certain type, and after selecting those it took 5 minutes before the context menu (after rightclick) showed up, and next ... nothing but an empty frame, though guessing that a "sure - press OK" would be default, I pressed enter, but I saw nothing more happening than that frame disappearing. Also, after that I couldn't start a new instance of Explorer, because only (and similarly to the before) the frame of it showed. Had to reboot. After that it seemed to be the files had gone indeed.

Yesterday I wanted to backup the remaining log files to another drive, and at selecting all the files again it took ages for the context menu to appear, but when it did and choosing copy, the paste in the addressed explorer window did nothing. And again at fireing up a new Explorer window, it carried an empty frame only.
I examined the memory useage, and saw 1.92GB used, that being my amount of memory installed.

I couldn't get away of that used memory, so I rebooted.
(at this time I was thinking that the OS disk would be destroyed right before of the planned backup swoon).

I investigated a bit, and found that right at selecting the files the used memory would jump to all being used at once, but as long as I bailed out, it freed again. Hmm ...
Attempts to select smaller amounts of files (like 25% of it) did not change a thing.
Btw, in the mean time I occasionally saw "out of memory" messages, that for sure making everything go wrong after it, like the empty frames I saw before. Also, quite dangerous IMO, because if the OS really is out of memory, *anything* can happen.

I couldn't find any way to move the files, and ended up starting a Dos box, and use XCOPY from there, followed by a DEL *.*. No problem using this means.

Again, I can't be sure it is the SSD impeeding for this behavior, but I sure didn't see anything like it before.
Maybe with W7 this is solved (if cause by the SSD at all), because that's officially supporting SSDs as they say.

Like 2 months ago, had something familiar, wanted to delete my xx Gallery, (on vista)
After deleting files are gone, but didn't get my space back.
Also about 10 GB of files
However, SSD and deleting, some work has to be done on this subject.

IMO W7 is more prepaired then Vista, to handle a SSD.
Talking about overall performance, not just audio.

But Peter, give W7 a try. really !
Vista and SSD, no good!

Can't give you a specific reason but it all feels more stable and faster


PS: days and days of running chkdsk, memtest and other diagnostic programs to solve my problems
      yesterday had a faulty HDD, But I think thats because of faulty memory
      Can't trust anything anymore over here. Have to get to te bottum of this.
      First of all, making backups for now (some testing programs can overwrite your data)
      But this comes with the territory, I guess, being on frontend of technology (XX in beta, W7 in beta, Vista not fully prepaired for SSD, SSD is new technology)
      Only good thing, about it , is the knowledge getting out of this

Hope key will work,

Still testing here,
Will be solved this week, or throw all out.
Start to get a little crazy over here, it just takes too much time.

Did new OS install, and on the way installed AHCI driver.
Its working,

But not so important for me now.
Tonight doeing another extensive RAM test.

My PC is spread out over all over te floor
Disconnected everything unnessary.

And let it run overnight

patience is my middle name, but not for long !

Grtz

Ya, I've been here with computers.  Only once thankfully when building a new computer and was at a complete loss why it didn't boot/stay on.  Most of the time when a machine dies and I don't know why ... ps?ram?hdd?.... by that time it's time to buy another.  GL I hope you hunt down the culprit.
