Hello naquaada!

and thanks for the warm welcoming and for all your info, it's been really helpfull

i've did a little snooping around for my emu 1820 and i found this

but as it is stated in the comments there it is not fully funcional yet.Have you tried it by the way?

Anyway i may give it a try, just for testing, and you are right i really need a new sound card if i buy a mac in the future, which is more likely

.
Also i will try osx on my system, i believe i'll be amazed, cause i've seen it runing on a mac book air, of a friend of mine , who is also into computer music and has switched to a mac from pc.In a few words the os is outstanding compared to windows.
i agree with everything you say about the stability and simplicity of the osx platform. It's you communicating with the hardware, not you,communicating with some programmes first and then the hardware, as it is in windows.Not to mention, e.g. Logic and Digital Performer which are great DAWS.That's why i really wanna get into the mac world.
So if i may ask one more question:
I've been looking around the M audio pro 610 you mentioned and also the profire 2626 and they are veeeery interesting!

.
Honestly i'm intending to buy a new soundcard which has cross platform compatibility, once i gother up the amount of money needed. And here comes my question, up to now i have three soundcards, the E-MU 1820 which i'm using,an M Audio Delta 1010lt and an older Terratec Aureon 7.1 external firewire.
All of these soundcards support up to 7.1 surround sound monitoring and playback, which is a main feature i'm looking for, since i mostly do film scoring. but the problem is that NONE of them will ever work with a hackintosh or a future macintosh system

So my question is, do the M Audio profire 610 or the profire 2626 support surround sound monitoring and playback? (up to 7.1 would be great!

) Also one other soundcard i've looked and found it interesting is the Focusrite Saffire pro 40, here is the link

What's your opinion about this soundcard? Do you happen to know if it's working on hackintosh also?
Thanks again for all your effort and sorry for my long post, but i'm a complete newbie in this stuff

As for my English it's been a while since i last practiced them, that's why i apologise once more if it's bad :-) Oh, by the way i'm from Greece, and you?

Thanks again for everything, cheers!
