Hi :) I have just brought a PC and i was looking on net for some extras E.g speakers etc and desided to buy a creative 2 zs sound card (i thionk its called that) but after researching it i found alot of people saying adding soundcards slow your computer down by 80%!! is this true or have they just done it wrong/they have slow computers anyway. I know this card has troubles with norton 2004 :/ Can any one help?? :)
 
wait a change of plan. Ive deisded to just buy Sound Blaster Live 5.1 Digital :) will this slow my computer down any tho?? I have a 3500+ AM<D processor if thats any help :) No idea what the mother board is tho :(
 
Hello

No, quite the opposite true.
Sound cards and video cards take a big hit off the cpu and ram,
compared to onboard video/sound.
"Audio play back harware acceleration" & eax can slow things down abit
in games and such. I just set it back one notch.
Ive had no problem with the 5.1 I'm using.

Cheers
