The GUS P&P is neat. Buy the version WITHOUT the ram and upgrade it
yourself(cheaper).Both releases have both DISKS and CD included.

Well for under $300 you can get a Sound Blaster Awe 32 with a
wavetable connector so not only do you have built in wavetable and
complete compatibility with the sound support you can add that Roland
wavetable daughterboard and have the best of both worlds... Sound
good?

Seems to be a very expensive way of buying a digital effects card if
you only intend to use the AWE for those and leave the GM up to the
Roland. Why is this setup any better than buying the cheaper SB16 for
effects and then adding a decent GM card like the Roland, Yamaha or
Ensoniq?

Doesn't this all come down to why you want a daughterboard??

If you're that fussed, get a good, pro separate unit & plug in. Lets face it, the yamaha stuff
is still based on their old S&S technology and sounds... well, a bit tacky. I picked up a cheap
media vision DB, which basically has 4meg of korg M1 technology on board. Sounds fine,
particularly on games.

Lets me check out GM files without resorting to plugging a decent unit. Why pay out big $$$ for
something stuck inside the box?

I've yet to strike a card with DECENT software. Basically they are all just add on hardware
stuff replacing the proprietry sb chips.....
