New Soundcard trouble, any ideas?

[senseless]

Than he can sell it to a nub

Have you ever tried or heard a revolution 7.1, personally I have never even seen one

We have one sitting in the backroom.. I've installed 1 or 2 into systems, most of our customers order fireface, lynx 2c, Firepods, or something along those lines (1500$+ cards)

I've never really used one for gaming though. When the revolution 7.1 is ordered in a system ill snag it and take it home for a day. I can't do it before then because we might sell it as a part =/.. But from having a firewire-410 for so long (couple months now) anything less is going to sound like crap.
