I had some fun getting my sound card to work 100%. It worked ok with the standard Window driver, but there was no way to switch the input jack between mic and line in.

In the end I managed to track down a Vista 64 bit driver for it that worked.

I also had some issues getting my 3G dongle to work, though just uninstalling/reinstalling the driver a few times made it work in the end.

And more importantly the memory intensive SQL Server Spatial queries no longer cause me to run out of memory
