ANY SB card is full-duplex, albeit 8-bit playback in full duplex mode.

You'd be better with a different soundcard tho'... The SB series are
all a little hissy.

I have a P166 with 40Mb ram and a few hard discs. Bear in mind that
storage size isn't as important as people think. Hard disc recording
(multitrack) can result in lots of separate takes for verses and
chorus, and if you repeat things, you can paste wthout doubling the
storage of one clip.

I get 8 tracks (or 4 stereo) just fine, which for MIDI music is great.
You can also bounce down to give you free tracks.. 

It's lotsa fun.
