intel 815E motherboard / thumbs up or thumbs down?
 

Does anyone have any opinions or thoughts about the intel 815e or intel 815ep motherboard? As far as I know, it meets the requirements and recommendations stated by the folks at Digidesign. It is socket 370, has 5 pci slots and 4 usb.

Here are my system specs:

512 pc133 ram
pIII 1ghz
30gig 7200 HD
ethernet card
Windows ME

Digi 001 sound card / interface

and if possible, i'd like to add a Soundblaster live card for midi usage.

Are there any known conflicts when this mobo and the 001 are used together?

Several users including myself have and love this board. Mine has the network and sound onboard which I use as well with no probs.

Got it too - no complaints here.

No problems with this board or the CUSL2-C Asus for the Digi. You should not have too much of a hassle with the SoundBlaster.

If it is the onboard sound model disable the onboard sound chip. Most bios versions have a sound blaster section to set its IRQ. This can be helpful in getting the IRQ's the way you want them so the digi-001 and the SoundBlaster work together better. If you are not using cubase or a printer scam the IRQ for that which is 7.

Good Luck!
