No beta. try download via http://www.asuscom.de The drivers can be found:
initial page: Support -> Treiber from the listbox
Treiber page: IDE - Controller Treiber
IDE - Treiber page: Intel 8xx Chipsätze
then download the iam_200_2100.exe
works good with the drivers you can find under
Treiber page: Chipsatz Treiber
Chipsatz Treiber page: mit INTEL Chipsätzen
Just install, not more to do. For me: yes, should be used for optimizing i815 chipset.
Happy pulsaring
Micha

Sandrob - yeah! You got it? Nice!

LHong - We have a different view, letting Windows Manage the size of your swap file could lead to heavy disk thrashing - while it resizes the file on the physical disk. Any setting where min is set to max (both the same value) will force the swap file to always remain sized the same. You may need to play a little with the actual values, but during recording, having windows resize your swap file will lead to clicks... Windows NT (2K/XP) handles this a little better, but I still noticed less disk thrashing when working with extremely large (500-1000meg) .WAV files with a static swap file.

subhuman,
You are right!
However, there would be a trade-off! Either ways unless you have problems! Remember that Most of MIDI-Audio-Apps, they do have own setting, which be allowed best efficently manages the harddisk-swapping-space, it has own where is the temporary-folder and even cache setting as well. Otherwise, you just defeat this feature!
I don't use Cubase nor Logic but, the Cakewalk/Sonar, this setting is certainly allowed other apps can optimizes based-on numberous of audio size and audio lengh as well. Especially when you have fast-CPU, big harddrive and huge Memory (1~2Gb), this helps a lot. Mind you that I've used to have about 96~112 stereo audio tracks, for testing purpose without any problems (dedicaded harddrive for its audio used) on the P4-2Ghz-2Gb system.

BTW, anyone has tried this? It depends on what audio-apps you used! The hard-setting in windows (500~1024) is generic, it applies to all other apps (not only audio) as well. Once it is set, it could ignores the setting from the audio-MIDI-Seq program, that's all.

Anyways, I might be wrong? Whatever it works for you!

Regards,
Long
