ahhhHHHH, NO an onboard chip does not necessarily take any more CPU than a pci or isa card, in fact it can make the overhead slightly less, but that is for a different topic... And what someone pays for something does not make it better... I have seen a person pay 3000.00 for a picture for their walls, and they thought it must be 'art' if it costs that much, but I went to Wal-mart and bought an almost exact picture for them to see, and it cost 45.00. I am pretty sure they came from the same source. which is better,,,????? > > On Monday 15 September 2003 23:36, Charles A Edwards wrote: > > On Mon, 15 Sep 2003 23:02:19 +0300 > > > > Birkoff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I didn't read all the replies, but here goes my opinions: > > > - sound chip on the mobo real stinks. they arecheap solutions for > > > cheap sound.
