Part of the reason is that ISA does not offer the bandwidth needed to get the job done. There has been limited success in implimenting this on ISA, but not a lot. I would just look at the specs of the card. Things to look for in a card today are: PCI bus (The latest standards call for no ISA bus to be present.) 3d audio support multiple audio streams Linux drivers available. Again, look at the cards available and then look to see which you are looking at have Linux support. The AWE64 is quite popular. But there are two chipsets in use, and only one is supported in Linux.
