I want to build a PC with an Intel 815EP chipset based motherboard. I'm contemplating the EPOX EP3SPA3L or ABIT SA6. Both have onboard AC97 audio, but I wanted to know if there are different OEM chipsets used for this audio. In other words, can one AC97 implementation from one vendor be better than anothers? Is one better sounding, or perhaps more compatible in real-mode DOS?
I know that a "real" PCI sound card would be better, but for the purposes of my kid's computer, it doesn't really matter.
Has anyone compared the different manufacturers of AC97 audio chipsets?
Thanks,
Robert
