UTILIZATION

UPDATE 2010: "I use it for almost 3 years now, still nothing wrong, she ate in flightcase trips, parties, alcohol, in short I do not spare and takes ...
The new drivers (.39 I think) allows me to go down to 6ms gently on DjDecks. (Tested at 3ms, no significant change while I am at 6)
I tested it on my new laptop (Asus M51VA) and it works just as well with XP 64bit and Seven.

For the rest, my plates are still the same, I passed by RMP2 to test the timecode cd, it works fine too (although the plates are to escape ...) I now have all this coupled with a DJM 3000

In short, a purchase that I do not regret, I maintain that those who complain about new versions of the card (I do not speak of the first or "XL" without preamp) do not understand that stuff should be on a professional pro partition without internet / msn / kikoolol and consors, serenity in the evening it still has a price, and it's not 15GB partition to mix in a good old stable XP are annoying now;)
