The Pixies "Where Is My Mind?" - 8 bit edition
8-bit?
Don't think so.
Depends on the sound card used. Hearing what appears to be both wavetable and PCM, I would say definitely 16-bit. The SoundBlaster Pro (16-bit) was released BEFORE the 1st release of Impulse Tracker, and I believe so was the AWE32.
Being wrong before, I could be again because, of course, all synthesis could be done in software using only 8-bits of the 16-bit registers of the 32-bit CPU on the 16-bit or 32-bit (or possibly 64-bit) bus in the 'puter.
The Most Terrifying Video Game Ever
I game with a pair of the classic Sony MDR-V6's + Headphone AMP + X-Fi Soundblaster. I'm really thinking of moving up to this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829132018
I've tried everything, including the Tritton 5.1 AX-Pro's and I keep coming back to my MDR's.

Pretty impressive how the music has evolved too!
I can still remember spending 3hrs trying to get my soundblaster's midi output to work properly for WCI/II, the tones were always off by just a little bit. But there was something special about the sound of midisynth that gave a unique sound to games from that era.
I'll never miss having to manually mess around with autoexec.bat and config.sys files to load drivers and set paths, but there's something from that era in the way of music that's missing.

E6400 processor, 2 gigs of OCZ insane ram, GF7300, new S-ATA drive, new mobo to go with the whole kit, reused my old SoundBlaster Audigy 2 Card and Antec case - had them transfer my older smaller IDE C: drive to the new S-ATA - came in at a grand with taxes and everything. It's a sweet rig.
I skimped on the video because of DX10 and the associated pricing insanity you're well aware of and already wrote about.

“Alright mate you didn't answer my question. How much did you get your system for and what are the bits in it? Spill the beans ”

I first watched this like many people with the Windows 95 CD-ROM where it was featured as an example of Windows video support. It came with my top of the line (at the time) Pentium 2 160 Mhz with 32 Mb of RAM, Creative Soundblaster and an S3 Virge graphics card. How time flies.
