UTILIZATION

Installing this card on my system proved simply impossible. Good advice if you have a Via chipset on your motherboard, flee this card.

In addition, someone said that technical support is filled charlots Guillemot: I confirm. Here is a resume my story ...

Installs in recent months in the U.S., I took in June 2001 of a short return to France to buy the ISIS. Cruel disappointment on returning home, unable to install the card correctly. I try all possible PCI, j'upgrade drivers for my chipset, I change the BIOS settings, there is nothing. On user forums, it tells me that the problem is caused by an incompatibility of Isis with the Via chipset on my motherboard. So I contact technical support Guillemot France, since my card had been purchased in Paris. After having exchanged 2 or 3 emails, I get a return number and they invited me to send my card in France for exchange.

The package came back two months later as I had sent. These morons have rejected on arrival in France, under pretext that Customs wanted them to pay taxes. They did not even bother to warn me by email. I recontacted and asked for explanations, I am now asked to speak to a branch exchange Guillemot who is in Canada!

Frankly, I send my card to my charge, upon request, they refuse it when it happens to them, and tell me after helping me Sort this out with their branch in Canada ... They fouttraient not just from the jaws of the world? In short, I spent the details, but now, four months after its purchase, my card has still not been exchanged, so I have not yet managed to install it. It is like koi ca note in your opinion?

GETTING STARTED

With this card you are using Win98 or sentenced to win Millennium at best, since all development was abandoned by Guillemot for this product ...

Anyway me from the time I'm going on a Win2000 since I lost all hope of running the Isis one day on my machine. Go've deserved a good rating, AC:

OVERALL OPINION

You'll understand that it is frankly not me you will advise purchasing this penury, although I am convinced that Isis was able meet a few lucky users, with whom she works. Admittedly, this card is appealing on paper.

My conclusion is, if you have an old Pentium that runs millennium, you're looking for a card to start in softness in the joys of home studio without going broke, you can easily find a secondhand ISIS for a morsel of bread. .. The disgruntled users who seek to rid it must be legions ... (Incidentally if anyone is interested ... not mine: -]). on the other hand, if you have an AMD proc with a VIA chipset, do not bullshit: do not buy this card, even if you find a catalog for 3 Russian rubles are very lucky that doesn't ca not, so better not tempt fate.

In short, in my case I just just just go to Hoontech C-Port ... And at least the installation ran without addicted.

I put 1 / 10 when even as overall rating, because the Canadian media techinque looks nice and compassionate. Guillemot thank you.
