Hi all,
I take back my earlier complaints with the dragon+. I had an issue with my SB PCI 128 causing problems. I finally figured out that the onboard sound has an attachment to give me 4 speaker sound and SPDIF in and outs. I don't know what the SPDIF is for but I'm very happy with the 4 speaker sound. It sounds great. It never did work right with the SB card. I think the SB drivers were intentionally left crippled so people would go with the Live card. Anyone know what SPDIF is for?
Also I spent today setting up the on board raid. Had to buy another hard drive but it was worth it. My raid is fast.
You cant beat this board. I paid $159 at frys but with on board RAID, 4 speak sound and SPDIF, LAN, plus some kind of smart card reader thingy (anyone know what that is?). I'm pretty happy.
