I don't even use the on-board-sound I have an Creative Audigy 2 ZS PCMCIA SoundCard
and it beats the crap-outta- the on-board sound

I just upgraded my server last night; now I have massive bandwidth (25 gigs a month! ). I'm repackaging the driver file and I'll upload it later this afternoon. Sorry for the wait!

Okay, I've got it all in a 119mb zip file on my server. Please, only one download per person


Instructions:
1. Download zip file (click here)
2. Unzip to your desktop
3. Follow the README instructions in the unzipped folder


Special thanks to FiZi for his wonderful website and denb45 for helping me beta-test the package. I'll cover myself with a disclaimer: I make no guarantees about this package and am not responsible for any damages to your computer and/or files. With that said, these are the latest stable drivers I've been able to get my hands on. Everything appears to be working well. I've had zero problems with this package and I don't believe denb45 has had any either (care to chime in? ). My server should let you download the package pretty quickly; it does this weird thing where it starts at like 600 KB/sec and slowly tapers down to 120 KB/sec or so near the end of the file. Anyway, you should be able to grab it in less than 10 or 15 minutes on a broadband connection. I reformatted the README file into an RTF file, which can be opened in Wordpad (installed with XP) or Office (if you have it). The previous Notepad text file was pretty difficult to read; this version should be better. Please let me know if there are any spelling mistakes, missing or incorrect instructions, etc. This is a first release and will not be perfect, but it should be pretty close.

Please report any problems to me! This package has everything but the keyboard driver, which I believe is enabled by default in Windows XP. If anyone has problems with special keyboard features like volume control, email, etc., please let me know. I know that you can install the Gateway software/driver for the keyboard to program what apps open, I'm still messing around with that (I think the volume wire was disconnected after I did surgery on my LCD screen).

The one you have is the same as this one; this one just has a newer README file. If you wouldn't mind downloading it just to make sure I zipped up the right set of files, I'd appreciate it

Also, is anyone interested in hosting this file permanently? I upgraded my server and can handle the bandwidth, but I found a buyer for my 7405gx and will be selling either this month or next month. Thanks!

Hey you should see my latest project - I ran a splitter to my headphones and installed two bass shakers in my chair. FEAR is pretty fun with them

Ha! 25 gigs a month is nothing. I've got 1000 gigs a month of transfer on my dedicated server, and for a $30 one-off payment I can upgrade that to 1200 gigs a month.

Mind you, I *am* paying $80 a month for the server.

I've nabbed the file from your server, and am uploading it to mine now. Link to come shortly... Watch your bandwidth in the meantime, 25 gigs sounds like a lot but that's only around 200 downloads a month before you max it out.

Ah, no fair! I'm paying about $24 a month. It's for a 2gb account tied to wiredbynature.org and a small 250mb account tied to wiredby.com (just for forwarding mainly, using subdomains). I need to start adding in Google AdWords to my tutorials to get the site paying for itself lol. Thanks for hosting the file, that's very generous of you! I really appreciate it!

Dear god, $24 a month? They're reaming you, time to start shopping around... You should be getting more like 80 - 100GB transfer on shared hosting for that price.

Heck, my $80 a month gets me a dedicated AMD Sempron 2600 server with 512MB of RAM, 80GB of storage, 5 IP addresses, running CentOS with the latest version of Plesk control panel licensed for 30 domains - all dedicated to me.

Whoa Here's my setup:

wiredbynature.org domain - $10/year
wiredby.com domain - $10/year
Platinum account for wiredbynature.org - $227.40/year
Bronze account for wiredby.com - $35.40/year

Hosting specs are here:

I was just doing the $35.40 a year for wiredbynature.org, but I kept getting close to maxing out my little 1gb bandwidth. I plan on adding a lot of content over the summer so I figured I'd just go for the Platinum account. It uses cPanel on a shared server. I've had the $35.40/year account for a couple years and have really enjoyed it. Seemed like a good deal to me...got links to a different/better deal?

My previous (shared) hosting was with LiquidWeb.com, and was mostly pretty decent. They have plans starting from $14.95 a month with 1GB disk space and 30GB transfer, plus the requisites (Perl, PHP, MySQL, unlimited emails) up to $24.95 for 2.5GB of storage, 80GB of transfer.

You can make it cheaper by paying six months at a time - $12.46 a month for the cheapest package above, $20.97 for the top package.

Good thing I took this off your hands. Based on the current rate of downloads, it is looking like using about 23 gigs of bandwidth a month.

Is everybody finding it downloads OK / fast enough?

Holy cow I can't thank you enough for taking that file off my hands, my poor server wouldn't have any bandwidth left for anything else!
