I found one of the old PCI cards on EBay last week so I figured WTF not buy
it and give it a spin. I actually like this system a lot. I think the plugs
sound very good. They aren't UAD-1 plugs, but they are nicely done
nevertheless and the Megareverb is much better sounding to my ears
(presetwise, of course) than UA's Dreamverb. I had sort of prepared myself
for it not to work since I've got a dual core CPU and there are some issues
with certain AMD duallie chipsets, but it works fine with my Gigabyte GA
K8NS Ultra 939 and Opteron 185.

I'm giving it a thumbs up,.especially for $150.00. Check EBay. The old ones
are out there cheap these days. You will need lots or room in your case
though.this thing is longer than an EDS 1000.

HI DJ,
Yes they should be fine on the older boards.
They don't work at all on new motherboards.
I have one hear collecting dust that I think still works if you ever
plan on adding another. :)

They had a real shitty upgrade offer to the Mk2 so never upgraded.

Hi Dimitrios,
I'll have to see how to de-authorize it. I've not even 100% sure it
works at this point. Haven't been able to test it in a compatible system
in a long time.
I'll be able to deal with all that after I get back from AES and
vacation. So after the 15th.
