I'd like to throw this out just for opinion. Someone recently
mentioned that his Turtle Beach sound card scored a 7b on the WL test.
I just installed mine and it came back as a 7f, the highest.

Now, I am wondering if perhaps these differing opinions are placing
the blame on the wrong party. My hamshack computer is a Pentium III
600 machine with 496 mb of memory.

Is it possible that the faster computers in use now, like this P4 @2.4
gig are at least part of the problem?

Just in passing, I was at my local computer bandit the other day, and
their Tech mentioned to me that next year will see an introduction of
a new processing system. I think he called it BKL...Those motherboard
will not have either serial ports or parallel ports, but will have a
large number of USB ports. He showed me one advance "spec" sheet where
the motherboard had 10 USB ports, no mouse or keyboard ports, no
serial or parallel ports.

I think I will hang on to my older machines.
