I personally find that the card Marian Marc2 is simply excellent, I'm using semi-professional.
I found just a shame not to use it with Windows XP, drivers (pilots) are unfortunately not ready yet.
There are no applications that came with the card, but at this price ...... !
Asio drivers etc. .... (Excellent) Super

UTILIZATION

installation, quick, without restarting, easy.
The only incompatibility I have encountered is the inability to use it with Win XP (no drivers)
The manual is very simple (in French)

GETTING STARTED

drivers stable on all vesion of Windows (except XP in progress ...)
I have a motherboard MSI 850 pro5
a Pentium 4 1.7 GHz
512 MB of Rambus Ram (800)
Nvidia GeForce2 MX 400 32MB

I can read as much track as I want, I already used 75 simultaneously on a song (a Test)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since 2 years ago
I especially like its technical super value for money and great signal to noise ratio
I tried a lot of models more or less cheap but it is what I prefer.
I would buy this card if gladly do it again.
The only fly in taleau, drivers for Win XP not exist today, they will also not ready by February ......
