Audio Card

[Mark Fuller]

I am looking to upgrade my video card to a pcie or maybe a usb. I am looking to spend about $250 to $275. I have a hp pavilion d4100y with a 3.2 ghz processor and 4 gb ram. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Your question is pretty confusing. The title indicated your question is about an Audio/Sound card. But, in your actual question you mention upgrading your Video card. Which exactly would you like suggestions for? A budget of $275 would be a good start for either of the components.

I meant the audio card.

That PC is pretty ancient. It will bottleneck a high end audio card.

That PC is very ancient. That PC was considered VERY high end in 2005, but it is nothing worth talking about nowadays. The system will bottleneck a high end audio card.

I don't understand why you have $250 to throw away on an audio card, yet you don't have top of the line current-gen PC. What, you have Bose speaker setup or something too? :\

Why do you need the card?

The PC he has was a high end workstation in 2005. It had the newly released dual cores in them. I think he is under the impression it is still high end.

Yes I do have an old bose setup, but if it's not recommended I'll wait until I get a new system.

Audio cards aren't recommended unless you have $300 monitors plugged to them, or have a need for an audio card that encodes into Dolby Digital Live for use with home theatre surround systems across optical.

Thank you for your information.
