Really? So you like only have one configuration of memory for your computer
and it works for everything??? Really?? I was ready to return my computer
because my Windoze config didn't work with DOOM!!

Turtle Beach cards inexpensive????? Ah, yeah, sure. Sound great? So

Multisound Montery at 500 Canuck Bucks.
