this is going to seem a strange question, but do you have a sound card in it? if so what kind?

i told you it was going to sound strange. But one of the most popular soundcards is the soundblaster legacy card. its cheap and offers great recording and output sounds. it is quite a good card. But I've found that the soundcard sometimes causes boot up problems in certain computers.

got it?
