do not torment the sleep deprived artist, he may be vicious when cornered,
in case of emergency, administer caffeine to the artist,
he will become docile after that,
and less likely to stab you in the eye with a mechanical pencil

I used to have one, when I changed my motherboard, had to leave it behind :( made the big mistake: I bought a SB128 instead. never buy a SB128, people, stick to the 16!

Depends on your motherboard. The reviews for the NForce 2 boards were pretty good actually.

...Case mods always provide an intresting DIY project, not much point upgrading the decent hardware you have already.

They may not be capable of 24 bit/96Khz but at least Hercules don't lie about it. The SB Audigy was a sham, plain and simple and its successor isn't all that much better.

You've obviously never tried an nForce2 board. :)  Onboard 6.1 audio = teh 0wn! :D  It doesn't even hog CPU resources!  (benchmarks have shown a 5fps drop when sound is enabled)

Yeah well, you made it sound like all onboard sound sucks. ;)  I do agree, AC97 blows chunks. :D

The only place the Audigy 2 is truly 24 bit/192Khz is in the advertisements. It's far better in this regard than it's predecessor was but it isn't the 24 bit end-to-end card Creative would like you to think it is.

Ohh FT, not to drag this off-topic, but could you please use a brighter blue color in the future?  That shade of blue is kinda hard to read.
