Do you work for CreAtive? I can get a kick-ass vid card for less. Is this a new kind of spam?

This old SB PCI 128 is about ready for the museum of tired old hardware...

As I have been informed, the Audigy card has a cable connection on the card and it comes with a plate that has the game port on it that takes up another slot. So you can have the gameport or not, your choice. If you look at the picture above of the card itself, you can see the gameport plate next to it with the ribbon cable attatched.

Again, I will pass on enlightenment I myself recently received. The Audigy cards have hardware buffers, so the CPU isnt constantly buffering your sounds in addition to all its other work. The only onboard sound that is specifically designed to reduce CPU overhead is the nForce sound chipset, but even it lacks hardware buffers. The Audigy is (IMO) the best compromise of performance and cost available to gamers today. I'm sure Skuzzy would back me up on that, since he was the one that educated me :)

Then why post?

Are you some kind of idiot?

Do you have a thing with A 's?

Why do you ask so many questions?

Post by: Elfie on April 04, 2005, 02:33:46 AM: I pulled my Audigy card out, tryed the onboard AC97 sound, then bought a cheap $15 offbrand sound card. My FR is far more stable now than it was with the Audigy card installed. Have heard quite a few people say that the SB cards and VIA chipsets dont particularly like each other, in my case at least it appears to be true.

Yes, they do have incompatibility issues with some VIA chipsets. Then that doesnt affect me because I dont use VIA equipped MOBOs lol. I'm glad you found one that works.
