Finally upgraded my six year old computer; Win 7, ASUS MOBO, Intel Core i7 3.8 GHz. Piles of RAM (12).

Only one problem - the PCI EMU 1820M that has served me so well and works so well won't physically fit into the slot next to the PCI video card (fairly high end video for photography, and it's just too wide to permit anything beside it).

One reasonable solution - replace the EMU. EMU makes PCIe cards that will fit, but several opinions on the Multimedia Production Forums (where Mac shows up from time to time) indicate that EMU hasn't kept up with the world (apparently haven't issued drivers specifically for Win7).

So am looking for a reasonably high end S/C that is PCIe. Going to Firewire would require purchase of a F/W card. And latency when playing Pianoteq through the system can be an issue. The nice thing about the EMU cards has been their dedicated ASIO drivers that work very well. I've heard that some other brands have questionable ASIO drivers.

Haven't looked at cards for at least six years now, so I'm a bit out of the loop.

Any and all suggestions will be considered.
