			I have a SoundBlaster soundcard... I hardly notice any difference with it so I just don't use it. (I had limited PCI slots at the time due to other components). Now that I have the space for it, I've grown onto the onboard. If I ever muster up the nerve to purchase a "good" sound card and good speakers so that my crap ears can actually notice a difference then I will. Will be a long while for that though.

			well i've got my pc hooked up to a top spec (at the time) kenwood stereo so i could tell the difference immediatly. The main one was that lower spec sound cards or onboard sound tends to crackle up when you raise the volume to a high level. I also notice that Creative give a number of nice utilities like wave sound ripper / mp3 codec and ripper / jukebox and a great sound mixer all in all i love the sound card

			Here's what my new setup will be once the rest of the parts arrive later this week. It'll be nice to play games on high settings again. Once I get some more money to throw at this thing I'm going to bring the DVD-RW drive up to current standards, get a real sound card and speakers and maybe even switch to SATA.

Heh, my PC has evolved a bit since then.

Antec Sonata case with a Neo 480W PSU

ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe

Athlon 3200+ (Overclocked 2500+)

Zalman CNPS 7000A-Cu

1024mb DDR PC3200PRO Corsair ram (soon to be 2GB)

Pioneer 109 DVD-RW

Radeon x800 pro with a Zalman ZM80D-HP

1 x Seagate 120GB SATA

2 x Seagate 200GB IDE

2 x Seagate 400GB SATA

Adaptec 1210SA SATA controller - and a pice of incompatable shit it is too :rant

I had all sorts of problems with the Adaptec card - resets and blue screens - until I tried a few different driver revisions and found one that mostly works... it just hard crashes/resets if I try to run Nero.

When I get the time I'm going to replace the 120GB SATA boot disc with another 200GB IDE and just use the onboard SATA for the 400GB drives. I will then destroy the cursed Adaptec card once and for all. :devil

The digital TV card has gone into an XP MCE machine that I've got, but that's for another post...

			So I got another computer all my own (most of my computers I have to share, so I only have 2 personal comps now) This is the first time I am using a linux... wooo, first linux post, ok Im gay. Vector Linux on SOYO SY-6IZA socket 370 mobo Celeron 600mhz - OC'd to 900mhz 192 MB of 100Mhz SDRAM 64MB Geforce Ti-4200 Some crappy Soundblaster sound card I found in my closet 30 GB HDD CD-burner at 40X It runs rather nice, a lot faster then I expected. But I haven't done anything intensive yet, only Firefox, GAIM, web surfing crap.

			Whoa, what do you plan to do with this beast? ExCyber thinks you'll most likely to do video editing. Is he correct? BTW, how much in total did you spend on putting this system together?

		mal		Oct 20, 2005
			Yeah, mainly video - that and being able to do something else while doing video. How much did it cost? Let me see... CPU - $789 Mobo - $115.50 RAM - $840 Case - $285 Total - AUD$2029.50 (US$1530) mg: I bought the bits in stages and hadn't thought about the total until now.
