That's a good idea. Both the sound card and the IDE controller are built into the motherboard, if I remember right (ASUS A7V8X). Though it does look like they're all going over PCI. I've got VIA VT8235 (Avance Logic ALC650 AC97) for sound, and a Promise PDC20376 SATA150 controller and a Promise PDC20270 UDMA100 controller for the hard drives, which are in a RAID 0 mirroring configuration. > To remedy this, you may need to play around a bit.

I guess it's good that I'm getting a new box soon, so hopefully the problem will not be present on the new computer. At least knowing it's a hardware issue, not something dumb I did, makes me feel better at least.
