There are many reports of this working well. If you have lots of
other devices installed all fighting for resources, you may have
problems.

No. Though this has solved audio problems on some systems.

PCI unless portability is a paramount consideration. If you're
considering an external sound interface, Firewire is a less
restrictive "pipe" than USB. (USB2 is OK, but the Audiophile is
USB1, and the market seems to have opted mainly for Firewire).


>PS2: please mention which version of the Audigy you have.

None. As a musician making multitrack recordings I have no use for
that type of soundcard.
