A7A266

Hey guys, in your infinite wisdom, would anyone happen to know the specs for the c-media on board audio for the a7a266? Is it ok? Or should one just skip it and go for a seperate sound card... Thanks for your input.

Someone posted a link to it's specs, it was fair. It's really up to you-the thing is almost free, but you may want something better. I would personally prefer a separate soundcard, in particular, a Vortex2 soundcard such as the Aureal SQ2500 or the Diamond MX300 or the Turtle Beach Santo Cruz. This sound chip has excellent features and great sound. It had problems with VIA chipsets, so using an ALi chipset motherboard enables you to take advantage of this excellent soundcard. Oh, there are no viable Win2k drivers for it either, not an issue if you are using 98SE.
