Choose of soundcard

[MagnusP]

Now. I've looked on a few soundcards, but I'm confused. Which card is the best of these? without thinking on the price.

It depends on what you plan on using it for! http://www.audioforums.com/forums/smile.gif

I have also lokked at the Lexicon Core 2, but heard that it's only supported with Intel processors. It's that true.

I used a Core 2 for years but I'm sure it's now discontinued. Mine cratered a month or 2 ago and I replaced it with a Terratec EWS88D (like the MT, but without the analog ins, since my studio is set up for fiberoptics). It was WAY less expensive than what I paid for the Lexicon. Lexicon claimed there was no compatibility issues between different chips. I never had a problem but the thing used so much of my CPUs resources that I couldn't use (for example) a USB 2.0 card in my machine. So far the Terratec has been troublefree, and the few problems I had setting it up (I am admittedly not a computer expert) were quickly resolved by emailing Terratec -- best support I've found in my limited experience.
