dimension 2400 with sound card
If I order a 2400 with Dell's sound card (Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 (D)
Card) and use with a Hitachi Flat Panel (model: CML 175SXWB) I wonder if the built in speakers will sound that much better with the sound card ? Also if I don't get the sound card, how does the speakers in the flat panel connect to the intergrated sound card on the Dell? If I recall the Flat Panel has a cable hooking up the speakers to the sound card. |

The integrated sound card is quite good. For speakers in a monitor, the
integrated audio is better than that quality of the speakers. Even a decent 2.1 speaker set is good on the integrated audio. Tom Jim wrote in message ...

With the speakers you are talking about I don't think it would make much difference either way. You can always add a sound card later anyway.. Hope this helps. Dave |

The speakers are the issue here and not the integrated or PCI sound. Stew |

The built-in speakers will sound the same no matter what sound card you buy.
The speakers connect to your computer with a wire that comes with the monitor, or you can buy one at Radio Shack for a dollar or two. Ted Zieglar formerly "Rocket J.
