my lad wants a soundcard for his pc - pci slot. I know that Creative WERE
good in the past. He wants it for 2.1 speakers and also wants to be able
to
plug headphones in. He says that it HAS to be midi

any ideas on the pecking order for pci soundcards - there are about 40 on
E-Bay and I don't know which is better than other.
Conversely - have any of you folks got a decent soundcard to sell???

TIA



Audigy2 OEM can be had for cheap and is good. Yes, it does Midi, as do all
contemporary soundcards.
