SB Audigy 2 or Mobo AC'97 ?
« on: April 01, 2006, 03:45:40 AM »
New MOBO has 5.1 chanel audio. I have a SB Audigy2 card.

Is there any idea installing the sound card, or should I just use the one that is on MOBO ?

Before I think the integrated sound was slowing down the game, but how is it theese days?
