I read an article last week about onboard sound and CPU performance. How big of an impact does onboard sound have on a cpu? I have a Soyo Dragon Ultra KT333 running an Athlon XP 1900+. My onboard sound is C-Media 6-channel 8738.
I think the onboard sound is better than a Sound Blaster Live Value card I have, but I would likely be happy with the Soundblaster if it increased performance a lot.
