Hey all,

im thinking about swapping my friend a spare 256Mb pc3200 stick of ram i have for one of these soundcards he has.

BUT i dont know which one to choose lol.

i was thinking the Soundblaster because they are a brand make but it looks kind of old.

also the Aureal Vortex 2 looks good too but never heard of them

would it be better than onboard?

1.Aureal Vortex 2
2.Creative SoundBlaster CT4810
3.Crystal CS4614A-CM / Genius Sound Maker 128
4.Advance Logic ALS4000

Depends, usually yes, but if your using an ancient card such as the two posted above, it wouldn't be better IMO compared to the newer integrated 7.1 sound. However if it's for the motherboard in your sig, it may still be better.
