Thanks again Paul. Interesting that even the "5.1" cards are
actually
7.1 cards and capable of 4 stereo output pairs (I wonder what the
"special knowledge and experience" entails...I need to keep
reading
through the site and forums I think).

Some of the technical stuff was still over my head and I guess that
will become clearer as I use the drivers.

Cheers,

Tim.

other though - so maybe there is a limit of 3?

I played with it and I have swapped cards over since then - From the
supported cards list on the kx site, this is actually a 6.1 card.
