Ahoy, K-61, thx for the reply. Yes this is something I've been thinking about as I pore over the various posts by people that have reported issues. Kinda sad if this is indeed the case, shouldn't the AD chip be up to the task of doing multiple explosion sounds? These things are made to play back 5.1 audio for DVDs, etc!

Fwiw, I just ran some stress and benchmark tests with Furmark ( http://www.ozone3d.net/benchmarks/fur/ ) and my video card seemed to hold up well. It ran at 103C for quite some time in the stress test, before I terminated it at 10 minutes. I also ran the benchmark and seemed to come in ahead of the comparable systems (of course, nothing by today's video card standards): http://www.ozone3d.net/benchmarks/fu...d3b72854132e8e

compared with the standard table it does better than the Geforce 8600 GT that is cited here, run with the default settings: http://ozone3d.net/benchmarks/fur/#comptable

I think I might have an old sound card kicking around the garage. I'll take a look around.
