Hey All,
I have an Abit IS7 board with a P4 2.8. I am currently using the onboard sound. I have no issues with the sound quality, all I do is play games and listen to a few MP3s.
I want to know if using the onboard sound is using much of my CPU resources. I will buy a new Audigy2 if I will see an improvement in my games and overall performance.
I only have 2.1 speakers and dont plan on changing that.
I guess my question is... will I see any improvement by using a card to process my sound. If so, how much of an improvement (%) would I be looking at?
Thanks in advance for any help.
