Do they do a version for linux? :-)

Not so much built as evolved...

The sound is provided by the motherboard which has Windows 7 64 bit driver downloads on the Gigabyte website, so presumably it should be ok. No cards apart from the graphics, which as mentioned previously also has 64 bit drivers available.

NEWSFLASH: just mentioned the 32/64 bit dilemma to SWMBO, and I have been instructed to get the 32 bit version if there's any chance it's going to mean fewer problems. She says I'm always buying one thing which results in having to buy other things, which of course is completely untrue. Well, mostly untrue. I mean, sometimes I don't have to buy many other things at all.
