Hey all,I have a question for you guys out there.Which would you recommend me do, for performance sound quality etc (I put performance ahead of sound quality). Use the onboard sound that came with my mobo, Epox EP9NA ULTRA, or use the old Soundblaster Live! card that I yanked from the system that was in the case?Thanks

I'd go for SB Live for sure, put less strain on the CPU.

Your motherboard uses the RealTek ALC850 for audio. I'd go with it before the SB Live. Most NF4 boards do onboard sound pretty well (and don't consume alot of resources... unlike boards from just a couple years ago). The SB Live is old tech compared to Creative's Audigy series.Greg
