Hi,
Turtle beach is a good sound card, quieter than the various sb cards. I owned and used one for years and the only reason I switched to an audigy card was for the easy access to the jacks in the separate module which sits atop my tower. I do lots of multi track recording and got tired of crawling around under the desk to plug line in and microphone cords. Also, the external module has volume control knobs, yes, I said knobs. Makes life easier. But for normal work, the turtle beach is a fine card.

Oh, now, when I first got my computer, I had a strange soundcard in it. It was an offbrand of some kind and I switched to the Soundblaster Live in May, 2003. (I think that's when I did that.) I never knew whether the first soundcard had a line-in or not. I gave it away to someone else who sold it later. Is the Turtlebeach a high-end card that cost a lot more? I'm happy with Soundblaster. Don't think I'll tinker too much with this old computer nowadays as I am saving for a brand new system. I'm thinking of buying my next one from Radio Shack--unless I'm wrong, and someone else can make some suggestions, but I'm on a tight budget and I don't want to go into the red all over again. I like getting my system from a place whose sales staff will take the time to make sure I would be able to work it when I get home. Circuit City and Frye's are not hot places for me to shop at, as I find people there less helpful. I've been dealing with Radio Shack for years off and on, and at this time, thought I would ask some questions first.
