New computer and old SB Live Platinum Soundcard - compatab..

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

Just ordered a new PC, the specs are at
http://www.pcnextday.co.uk/product [...] &pgroup=CS

I will also in the future be getting a "pro" soundcard but I was wondering
if my old SB Live Platinum and Live Drive II was compatable. I like being
able to fire up Cubase and have the soundfonts available without any latency
problems and without having to load up a VSTi. I write most of my stuff this
way and once I'm done only then do I audition VSTi sounds to match. Back to
the PC, is the SB Live Win XP compatable etc or could I get a newer SB card
but still use the Live Drive II with it.
Cheers
Craig

The SBLive will work fine with XP.
