[AG-TECH] windows sound card woes

So I'm not new to this Access Grid thing, but I'm having lots of
problems lately!
I can't get RAT to cooperate. The integrated audio on a Dell Precision
650 workstation would not give me audio line-in or microphone record. I
then disabled integrated audio and threw in a Soundblaster PCI 512, but
RAT would crash or lock up every other minute.
I then went to the store and bought a Soundblaster Audigy SE. It gave
me echo right on the card! The speaker out would leak into the
microphone in, causing the remote site to hear themselves faintly. The
record gain was way too low even when maxed out and boosted. And RAT
would _still_ crash, but only about every ten minutes.
So I'm really frustrated. Could someone please recommend their choice
sound card or device for use under Windows with AGtk 3.0.2?
I'm thinking about getting the M-Audio FireWire Audiophile recommended
on the Hardware Reference. Will RAT behave with this choice?
Cheers,
