Hi Mark
I recently built a machine for similar purposes. Although unfinished (I
still have not transferred my Delta1010 from my current box), I can find
no issues that would indicate that it will not work (it is working with
an old Ensoniq card reliably at 8ms round-trip - which seems to be the
best the card can manage).
I chose Intel this time around - primarily as a result of their having
released either open-source drivers or the information required for the
community to help themselves. So, I sourced an Intel D945GNTL ATX
motherboard (ICH7 chipset, integrated sound/video, SATA II), coupled
with a Pentium D945 (dual core 3.4GHz), and (initially) 1Gb DDR667 MHz RAM.
