ey mbt! I just finished auditioning my MCP-T soundstorm thingie. I aint impressed!!! SB Live! still does it for my ears. Ang layo ng sound, not to mention, its more modifiable.

I based the gigabyte's price on it's USD price of $170. Anyway, the only gripe i have against the 8rda3+ is the bootup time. the sata raid controller takes some seconds to get itself together (about 5-8 to be exact)

Diba meron kang Live! card? why not use that?
