- Any modern middle range should pretty well beat Amiga-produced audio
- easily. I'm personally going to get SB AWE 32, it's probably one of the
- best middle range sound boards... PCs may not be good for music, but

- I'd presume that the situation will change then. I suppose most respectable
- manufacturers will produce Win-drivers for their cards in the future, at

- proprietary non-standard systems are "out" today.
