Hello- I tried looking for this card in various stores and websites and couldn't find it. Finally found someone selling them new on ebay and I got one. The place was in Canada and it costs me $60 including shipping. Not a bad price for a sound card with optical/digital in/out and DVD/AC3 6.0

It will NOT be able to title at all, because it uses the S/PDIF standard, as all MD's and majority of Digital Soundcards do, which CANNOT carry titles across, as the only subcode data being sent is SCMS, and the only other data being sent is audio. How many times must I explain this?

This isn't accurate - w/ new tbird systems it's up to the motherboard if you use SDRAM 168pin dimms or the newer DDR memory chips. If you'd like to upgrade later, but can't afford memory now, there are boards that support both types of memory. Granted, you won't be able to take
