The Warden is really into music, Korean music, she has at least 2000 files or songs on her Hard drive (Did I pay for all that ? Ouch!) anyway she is a member of a website that allows her a page to be a "CJ" of sorts (That is a Computer Disk Jockey) and she has fun playing her music so others can listen. She uses WinAmp to play the music.
Her main computer is a EPoX 939 NF4 Ultra (9NPA+ Ultra) board, Opteron 148, 2X 512 PC3200 Ballistix (2-2-2-6), DVD Burner, Floppy, a 250 and a 320 Gig hard drive. I gave her my X-Fi Platinum and she has the latest X-Fi drivers for Win XP Home
People have told her (Via text messages) that her sound card sounds great. Super.... I think, but it caused me to wonder, as I don't really have a clue, does her sound card really make a difference in sending music via Winamp and the net?
If it does I will certainly be hammered soon for 2 of her computers have "on board" and the remaining one a Audigy Value. She will want to upgrade.
Maybe for music Creative would not be the best situation, they seem fine to me and I wanted EAX. (I presume Creative and Microsoft got the NF4 and X-Fi crackling issue fixed as we don't seem to have a problem that I have heard about from her)
I could buy her two new Sound cards for her 754 and 939 machines that still use on board sound, or I have a SB Live card and a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz in the parts bin. Maybe if the machines sound card makes a difference on the net transfers, I should put those cards or something else in her other machines?
Kind of a disjointed post, but if you can make sense of part or all of it and have an answer or a opinion let me know.
I know Sound cards do sound better 99% of the time, but that is about all I know. (Well I know some on-board is better than others, but none seem quite as good as a dedicated card.
