    I want to get a decent quality sound card for use in Vista as my onboard sound has too much hiss to use a recording source. I'm not especially bothered about EAX etc or support for loads of...

    Hi,

    With 4GB of RAM installed on 32bit Vista, you'll probably only get use of around 3.5GB of that. 64bit Vista will overcome the memory limits but you may potentially find it harder to find...

    I've never seen a router in a tracert cause a "General Failure" in the past. Normally if they're configured to not reply to pings then ping just returns a row of 3 asterisks.
