I spot a little something there.... The yamaha is a 724 card, not 714 right?
Anyway...
You might want to test AWE64-Gold too, just to see if it makes any differences.
The standard/value/something edition's are just plain cheaper, and some people are arguing that the gold plated plugs makes no difference in audio quality.
Cards to consider:
- Ensoniq AudioPCI card's.
- SB16. Both regulair and Vibra ones.
- True AWE32 and SB32.
- SB-Pro.
- Aztech cards.
EDIT:
I have read about build's/rigs, were PCI cards mentioned as faster than ISA and vise versa.
And as SS7 incorporates more than just MVP3, then you might want to throw this test at ALI-V chipsets too.
You might even consider giving thought's on if the SS7 platform and 724 cards can have an advantage.
When no ISA card is at hand. I am thinking in terms of the SB-Link or PC/Pci header can make a "selling-point".
I have even had a MVP3 board with SB-Link/PC-Pci header once, though I never had luck getting it going.
The thing was, that I had no 724 card at that time, only an A-Open card, featuring some Crystal CS4614
chip, and it did not go well with getting PC/Pci working.
The motherboard was an Epox MVP3-C board. Good motherboard with everything SS7 one would need.
Both AT and ATX Psu connectors, SB-Link, MVP-3 chipset, AGP, Coincell battery and Ps/2 mouse header.
I sold that board, so I can not lend you it for testing.
Don't eat stuff off a 15 year old never cleaned cpu cooler.
Those cakes make you sick....
