What kind of speakers do you have? 2, 2.1,4.1??<br><br>Sound Blaster Live can be had for pretty cheap, and it was state of the art a few years ago..<br>I have a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz, which I like a lot. <p><SRA> The Jargonaut<br></p><i></i>

Tri, <br><br>Are you:<br><br>1) An audiophile?<br><br>2) Someone who uses his computer as a primary music station/stereo?<br><br>If not, then don't go blowing over $100 on a soundcard, because, like Jarg said, you can get a very decent sound card for very cheap these days. <p><SRA>/v/ahatma</p><i></i>

Since your speakers are a 2.1 setup, I think that any decent card will do, but if you want a little more....<br>I found a Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum on pricewatch for $66. That seems like a great price.<br><br>And, like I said, I love my Santa Cruz. It is produced by Voyetra, which also makes pro audio equipment. Plus, you do NOT get the CRAP that comes with a Creative product. Check it out <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.turtlebeach.com/site/products/santacruz/producthome.asp" target="top">HERE</a><!--EZCODE LINK END-->. <br><br>From the reviews on some popular magizines, the Phillips Edge cards are tough to beat. Look at the <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.bestbuy.com/detail.asp?e=11176497&m=488&cat=521&scat=523" target="top">PRICE</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> at Best Buy <p><SRA> The Jargonaut<br></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub44.ezboard.com/bschwantzsredeemerarenaserver.showUserPublicProfile?gid=jargonaut@schwantzsredeemerarenaserver>Jargonaut</A>  <IMG SRC="http://web.surry.net/~jbubbaw/jargo1.jpg" BORDER=0> at: 5/9/03 6:33:30 pm<br></i>
