have checked out SP3 for Windows XP and it definitely is worth installing!

    Hey Phil, I've tried absolutely everything, with out success with the 
presonus card, and even got myself a secondary hard drive, disabled wireless 
connections, and wired connections,antivirus, even bought myself a Express 
firewire card, as I was told by presonus that the internal firewire port card 
wasn't going to do the trick, even went as far as to reinstall windows, with no 
success.
    On a good note the card works fine on my desktop.
    I just think that presonus needs to improve on the vista drivers, however I 
haven't yet tried the new service pack 1 from vista as of yet, they claim to 
have improved lots of stability issues.
    The funny thing is that every time I called Presonus, spoke to Brad, 
Praser, Sam all of them told that my system specks is fine,
    2ghz of ram, Pentium duel core running at 1.5
    Dell enspiron 1520.

      Hmm, I wonder if you disabled your Firewire network connection?  I have 
known not disabling that to cause all kinds of pops and clicks.

        your absolutly right Phil, as I noticed that the Presonus for some 
reason has to connect twice to my system, and I can hear this because the 
sounds of connection run twice when I switch the unit on, where as with the 
motu the sound is only once, and in working with Sonar, I noticed remarkible 
improovement with response, even on my desktop.
        If only I could get some one to give me a tour of the q mix console.

          Phil replied: not surprised by that at all.  Your probably getting 
better performance from the MOTU because it's drivers are better written.

            I do have a presonus still, just wanted to add to my rig of 
equipment, and figured that having two sound cards is better then none, and 
having a different sound card is also a good idea to gain knolege, and I am the 
type that loves to get in to different interfaces and exparament, since I do 
work as a rehab teacher here in Montreal, and am currently training several 
clients on how to use music software,besides I noticed that the motu has less 
pops and clicks on my laptop, and that response is much better in sonar.

              Hey Mike,

              I thought you were using the presonus Firepod.  What happened?

                Hey Gord or any one on list, I just purchased the Motu 8pre, 
and love the card sound so far.  My only concern is on how to get around the Q 
mixing console, do I need to use the Jaws cursor?
                and how can I efectivly lower or raise the main out volume?
                Any help regarding this would be greatly appreciated.
