It looks like I'm going to have to finally replace a couple of my old desktop PC's.
I kept one around for music production that's running Win XP and the "2496"
plus a day-to-day machine bought running Vista and then upgraded to Win 7.

I'm looking at replacing these 2 with a single desktop PC but am having trouble
getting recommendations for a replacement for the 2496. I thought I remembered a
discussion about sound cards on the forum here but can't seem to track it down.

Any thoughts/ideas/advice on a replacement PC and/or soundcard?
I would use the music part mainly for the occasional home recording session (live vocals)
plus the usual BIAB/RB sessions.

Help!
Thanks!
