I am looking for something like that, too. I wonder how this Abit card rates.

My understanding is that the AM2 version has no, or very limited, OC capability and no RAID. For myself, I am wondering if RAID isn't a thing of the past and will go to NAS in very near future.

I have been looking at that board, too. I guess they are available here September 8. I wonder why one site would state three year warranty and other sites state one year? Does anyone know if this board does the HDMI 1.3 thing? It sounds like it might be the perfect board for me as i don't game, but ...

So is that card HDCP? Will it do 1080p? I am just trying to learn about these things and I think it is very confusing.

Why do you want to go with a soundcard and not a USB DAC like the Maudio Transit. And then have the transit modified by Redwine, that or a Squeezebox3.
