I just got a new Dell Optiplex 980 with an Intel® core™ I7 CPU 870 @ 2.93 ghz 
with 8 gigs of ram, Windows 7 Professional 64 and plenty of storage space 
including a portable harddrive for audio.  I tried to put my M-Audio 24-96 in 
upside down, the only way it seemed to fit, and it isn’t recognized.  Fine!  
Time to get something better that still suits my needs.  Everybody here talks 
about Focusrite and there are plenty of cards at different prices.  I just want 
a basic one with a couple of in’s for mics and lines, at least 2 RCA or TRS 
outs for the stereo, midi for the keyboards and good drivers for Sonar.  I 
don’t really want to pay for 8 or 16 channels when I don’t need them at this 
time.  I just want Sonar up and running again and my lossless music collection 
sounds bad on the little computer speakers.  Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance and I would like to try to pick it up tomorrow.
Bob.
