Heya Jimmy - I don't know, I'm pretty sure the VirtuaVia chassis was intended from the git-go as a PCI to PCIe adapter with "benefits", so there may not be a PCI version. So upgrading the mobo would be the only solution. If you don't want to go that way, you could hunt eBay for a used Magma, you should be able to get a used PCI version for a good price - I know little about Magma chassis but maybe someone else here could comment on whether any of these are good candidates.
With Win7 drivers in working beta though, this might be the time to bite the bullet and take the upgrade plunge. This is the first time in a long time we've not had our choices constrained to a narrow range of increasingly obsolete hardware - I'm thinking of going for an upgrade this year too, dual-boot to start.

Kerry!
Thanks, dude.
I guess I'll try to get my current setup working, get me a big 24" monitor, tweak XP so I no longer get streaming errors, wait for Win7, then buy a new mboard and fly.
These streaming errors are weird, I don't know how to get rid of them. I've tried several things, it didn't used to be a problem for me. Maybe I didn't get Mike's last most bestest drivers?

Are you on Mike's retail drivers, or still on the beta drivers? Give Mike an email, he'll sort you out.
I misspoke on the Win7 drivers, by the way - a conversation with Mike earlier sorted me out. The shots we've seen of PARIS running on Win7 are not actually of PARIS running Win7 drivers - they're PARIS running on Win7 using the XP drivers, and apparently they're working quite well. Go figure! But still you'll want to hedge your bets and dual boot with XP for the moment.
