Hi there.

Well is this soundcard even possible to get to run under Windows Server 2003?

Soundblaster AWE 64 Gold ISA ?

Right now after a fresh install it just wount install or find drivers anywhere. I tried some old Win NT 4 drivers but that just left me with blue-screens and reboots. So I used the last restore point and haven't dared anything else yet =P

Vcore voltage too high

I don't think so,.....maybe it's me, but I couldn't do it even in Winxp.

Get a cheap one, or an expensive one, but PCI PLZ!!

M$ said something about supporting the AWE cards later, but so far I couldn't find them.

Thats the most annoying thing. Everywhere there is mentioning that ISA-support has been dropped, but will be available from Windowsupdate. Yeah-riiiight!

In about 2 weeks I wount need a soundcard in my machine, but for now it would be a great help. (Will get a second machine then), cause then this machine would only be a server and not used in the same way. Thats why it bothers me slightly to put money into a soundcard....

I found drivers that are working.

Anyone wanting them is welcome to email me to get them, or can them self go to http://www.driverguide.com to get them.
