I'm not sure what happened to my original post on whether or not to get a sound card, but it seems to have disappeared. Anyway, I read about 5 replies to it before it went MIA, and thanks to you folks who gave me your suggestions and thoughts. Probably based on what the majority of you wrote, I'll see how it goes using the on-board system, but if I notice any problems or slow-downs (using the test method one of you suggested - Lizardo?), then I'll opt to get the card. I've got the large case for this unit, so there will be lots of room for another card.Thanks again, and if anyone else has any thoughts on on-board sound vs. the Audigy for 2004, I'd appreciate hearing it.

Ahh, ok Aidi - thanks for letting me know (still getting to know my way around here :-) ). I thought for a minute I was going blind, but now I realize it's just that I can't see :-) . Will check out the other forum.Glenn
