@Joker - those are some nice cards. What are you using instead these days? I know you listen to your music, watch movies, etc, all from your PC - did you get some crazy Fire$torm type "killer audiophile" card to replace those?

I'm actually slightly interested in buying one off you for a "good used price " for Kat's rig later this summer when we get an apartment and I take her rig home for her. She is starting to get into singing a little, (cute at her age), and wants me to record her and her friends. Hahaha...oh man, brings back some memories for me.
I've been out of the audio recording stuff so long that I don't know if either of those Creative cards are much better than what's onboard her MSI 870-G45 mobo.
Ah, the other thing I just thought of is, with 2 GPUs in there, not much room for separate Audio cards these days! hmmmm...priorities, man!

I used to have an M-Audio Delta 1010 in college, a couple matched condensor mics, etc - but that is all long gone, and I don't have any of it now.

Yeah either of those would be better than the sound on that mobo. My mobo has a soundblaster X-Fi chip built in, but i don't even want it

Creative Labs is no joke when it comes to sound reproduction/decoding/enhancement. They know their stuff.

OK, thanks. I will keep this in mind, then.
I don't understand this, though, JPM:

What do you mean by not wanting it, if it was "free" like as in, already on the mobo? Thanks for explaining that...

Yeah it's a chip soldered to the motherboard. I'm sure it wasn't free. And i can't very well remove it...not that anyone could use it even if i did...

Don't know if anyone can use it, but I have a Intel D915GEV motherboard. This is a 775 board with lan, video, sound, 1 pcie x 16, and 2 pcie x1 slots. Supports P4 processors with DDR2 ram. If you can use it send me a PM. Comes with faceplate.

I just use the onboard sound. The audio card sits too close to my video card and blocks the air flow and it already runs really hot.

Ah, I see. It was an "extra feature" that came on the mobo you wanted, but you don't really use sound at all from that computer. I get it, you paid $ for it to be there, but don't use it.

I was thinking more of like you bought some killer audiophile card and then had no use for it.

EDIT: @Joker - welll, if you still have one laying around this summer...and if Kat has a free spot in her mobo that won't block the GPUs...
