Funny thing is that I have almost the same gear you have:P166MMX,Awe 32,
32MB Ram ,IDE disk and it works for me...I know that it won't work for 
everyone...but the biggest advantage of PC setup is that you can make 
music...
You really can...and you won't have "If I had a good gear..." excuses any 
more...
Don't get me wrong...I would love to have 50k studio but it's not my 
goal...I just want to make music...I have what I have and I just love 
software editing.

You are right on that AWE noise problem...I want to buy Turtle Beach 
Malibu now to avoid it...

Yours Komay:)
