Soundcard Recommendation

[I132 0]

To all,Any suggestions on a good sound card for FS2002. Also, will a soundcard help with performance or slow things down. I would also like to know if there is a difference in performance between internal and external sound cards. (I don't if I have an empty PCI slot)Thanks,Scott2.53 Gg HPwin XP512 DDRRadeon9700

I prefer Sound Blaster cards myself, they have good driver support. The SB Live's use more CPU than the SB Audigy. So I would totally recommend the Audigy card. The OEM cards are less then $69 on my comp's website. The external varient is called the extigy and I'm not sure if there is any performance loss. There are Audigy 2 cards available, they are THX certified ;)

My favorite is Turtle Beach Santa Cruz, it gives really cool 3D sound and supports 6 speakers. It's about $70~$80.I've had it for over a year and I'm really happy with it.http://turtlebeach.com/site/products/santa...producthome.asp
