I think it's BS for them to do that. I have a Audigy 2 card which has worked fine. But I will look for a different card next time I buy. Maybe Turtle beach , don't know much about them. Any body have one? _________________ Thumbnail, click to enlarge.

Rather than recommending hardware, your recommending manufacturers which reads like an ad rather than a helpful list of parts. If you're looking to help folks choose hardware, ya need to toss some model numbers on there. For example: CPU: Intel E8400 Video: eVga 8800GT otherwise you're just plugging brand names which in my view mean little in PC parts if ya don't know what to buy. Just a thought, do with it what ya will. _________________ MrLiNcH Member Location: Cincinnati, OH Joined: Feb 14, 2007  || Posts: 673     Posted: Sun Apr 20, 2008 12:05 pm  here are a few tom's hardware articles that should help: $500 PC (lol cheap) - part 1: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/cpu-graphic-game,1810.html part 2: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/cpu-graphic-game,1907.html Top graphics cards for the money for April (May edition should be out soon though) - http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-cards,1805.html tom's hardware also just had a system build marathon that might have some good pointers for anyone looking to build soon. _________________ "You´re a mean one....
