What type of PSU do you use ? can you test the system with one that has a higher rated current on the 5v rail ? It is a PSU formerly used with a AMD A8-7600 which tbh didn't work that well now that I remember, probably I need to find myself a proper period correct PSU. I kind of like this mobo …

This wavetable is... interesting. It's not bad, but it is very different. If I try to ignore my bias is what I think things should sound like, it's actually pretty good. I would still really like to hear a recording of the Duke3D intro, please. You should consider what the redbook audio of Warcraft …

So what can you run from the sim memory slots? Im just confused is the memory for GUS or for AWE32 functions? Seems like it would be 2 mb for GUS soundbanks? Definitely they are not to load samples in .wav form as in other WaveFront synts, you should look where the simm slot traces go, my bet these …
