 so what else?
 
 Last time I was shopping for a soundcard was '99...

 | in other words giving no information on what for this is or for how much money the card should be you cannot expect
 another answer

 | I got an M-Audio Fast Track Pro about 6 months ago, and I love it so far. Almost zero latency, and outputs very
 high-quality sound.

 | do you mean sound card or audio interface? i have a motu
 ultralite interface thats very decent, loads of I/O. The
 last soundcard i had was a completely gash creative labs
 audigy that had this marvelous unpredictable "hellfire
 scream of death" bug that nearly blew my head off on several
 occasions. mark avoid like ebola.

 | Audio interface, something with a breakout box for the I/O. Any specific names and model numbers? I like the look of the
 M-Audio stuff (mainly because Protools will work on them but
 he's a Cubase nut)./

 | I have an EMU 0404 and it does a great job. Hasn't got a breakout box or much else, but if you're looking at sound
 cards, I'd go with Emu. This thing hasn't given up on me.

 | I have an M-audio 24/96 it sounds fantastic to my ears. No a lot of I/O but i am sure that the M-audio range is good
 across the board. Plus they regularly update their drivers.

 | I've got a Terratec phase 26 usb card. Pretty decent sounding to me. It's got spdif coax and optical ins and
 outs, 6.1 surround if you're into that sort of crap, inputs,
 outputs, midi I/O and some LEDs.
 There is a sound on sound review:
 http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/feb04/articles/terratecphas
 e.htm
 
 I got mine from Thomann and it's about a hundred quid.
 http://www.thomann.de/gb/terratec_phase_26_usb.htm
 
 Magic numbers are 24bit and 96kHz.
 It's got some limitations (read the review) but is cheap and
 pretty good stuff. I've got it to work with linux too!
 --------Conclusion:------------
 jesus christ, under £300, lots of I/O -->
 Terratec phase 26 = 2 out of 3.
 ---------------------------------

 | i got an emu  1616m and an 0404 (pci) and both are god sends
 .patchmix is awesome when you know how to use it, real nice
 .
 
 i mentioned to avoid usb2 b'cause i ordered a lexicon usb2
 sound card for my internet machine and it was shite....the
 latency was so long i could press play... go make some tea
 ..come back ...wait ...count to  78    say the alphabet
 backwards a couple of times and then realise i had put some
 shitty pop music on way too loud listen to it and hate the
 world i live in for that reason  ...
 i 'might have ' exaggerated a bit there but  but nahhh
 screw that...go with PCI ..and have the abilty to record
 multi channel no wonder that lexicon box had direct
 monitoring ( i e you would monitor a split rather than
 monitor through your program ( cubase or whatever) total
 shit. i hated it   i nearly killed a flower in the garden
 through such annoyance.
