mr. cherry, i dont think the board i'm getting has the soundstorm, if it's not the soundstorm would it still be better? i think it's just mcp audio or something.this is the board's spec page
soupnazi - i know it's uncool to do what i did, but in a large city the idiot to normal person ratio goes up exponentially. at the next light theres another and another...u get fed up with it..oh i disconnected my horn, there was a short somewhere lol, maybe in my head.
LOL, I hear ya. In the past month, I've almost been blindsided twice. (They didn't even shouldercheck to see if I was there.):o But wouldn't crashing into someone waste YOUR time? (getting insurance info, repairs)
Sorry, for the rant. (off topic):)
yeah it would but when your all "road raged" out your not thinking about all that stuff, then when you are thinking about it your thinking "hey it's gonna be so worth it" lol! but you gotta remember, if you make the slightest of any type of contact with another car the driver is likely to fall out the car door grabbing his/her neck yelling whiplash.
so what do you know of the quality etc of that particular onboard sound? i'm wondering what the cpu utilization difference will be, i think the live value uses like 1% if i remember a review, i know the live value is pretty old now but i always thought it was still superior to onboard sound... especially c-media, junk!

I didn't see any mention of it, which probably means you are getting the REALTEK version which is just a little better than AC'97. Basically you are better off with a SBLive in that case. Or you could get an Audigy1/2 and just be happy knowing you have a good soundcard.
who else makes good cards? i hear turtle beach is good, but i dont know how seriously they are taken by the gaming crowd...surely they have something better than a live value
For gaming, the Audigy 2 oem is the card you want. For music/dvd's, you'll want the M-Audio Revolution.
see now your forgeting the most important part... when your staring them down you have to pet your sawed off shot gun... PET THE SHOT GUN!!!Quote:

otherwise your threatening gesture is baseless.
Thank god I live in Canada...lol.:)
I don't know about that, for actual music you have to consider that M-Audio makes cards for their ins, not outs. They're a recording card, not a music production card.Quote:

I'd assume they have relatively good outputs but assuming that they're great for music is just more of an assumption. I think a lot of people get confused with these things easily, m-audio makes great 'audiophile' cards; however, they are not known for their outputs, more-so their inputs.
Wow... P-S-Y-C-H-O, not only is that the most idiotic thing I've ever heard, but posting it on the internet for the world to see, might be even more stupid... I'm not quite sure yet.Quote:

Forgive him, he's still young :)Quote:

Your an idiot and if you did that to my car you'd find yourself on the business end of a Louisville.Quote:

idle threats entertain much alien, is the lousville the very expensive bulletproof model by chance? better check first. maybe it's the 3 mile long catch-hit-n-runner on freeway edition?
lavavulva - didnt i say it was stupid to smash someone elses car because they dont know how to use it? why bring it back up and beat a dead, buried, decomposed horse, sorry for running into your car man, next time green means go ok? what does it mean in your country? stop, pick nose and listen to voicemail ?
back to the dam topic, an audigy 5.1 is $48, that isnt too bad...the m-audio revoltuion is $90, but an awesome card! ill go with an audigy... didn't realize the sb live was so long in the tooth.
I'd spend the extra money and get an A2 oem.:)
