This is true, but there are some distinctions between the two cards which you should know about (the people you talk to on the phone don't always know, as I've found). The SB 64 Gold (not the cheap SB 64) has better shielding, better connectors, and potentially more memory (though the basic SB 64 can carry up to 8 M). These things are probably only of interest to you if you are trying to record music or something like that. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
