363732 2005-06-14 06:01:00 The M-Audio cards are popular for use in digital audio workstations

A very popular model is the Audiophile 2496

And the price sounds about right at $436

www.ascent.co.nz

There are many reviews on the web , annd overall it'll perform a lot better than any Creative job [ impt = lower latency / ASIO or ASIO2 support ] for this kind of job , and they can always run another [ eg Creative ] card at the same time for gaming etc with all the 5.1 trimmings etc

I presume your friend is running Windows - the M-Audio is also fine on the Mac , but I'm not sure about Linux
