> And what about ICH7 and SB Live! with legacy emulation? Does it work?

I'm pretty sure it will not work. There's another hardware problem with PCI signal SERR to NMI routing which is needed for emulation SW. Most of mobo manufacturers ommited this link or blocked it by large capacitor which introduce long delay. I tried SB live emulation on 3 different mobos with ICH7(R) and it doesn't work. I searched a lot about this problem and there was plenty of users which had same problem also on 8xx and older ICH chipsets.
I also tried ForteMedia PCI card recommended by Eric Auer but it didn't work.
The only few DOS progs which can play through SB live uses it's own driver - MPXPlay and QuickView.
