DFI LanParty & Sound Card

Fedcer · 11-07-2005, 08:33 PM

Hi,

I'm buying a DFI LanParty nF4 SLI-DR and I've read that it comes with integrated audio. So, is it worth buying a Sound Blaster Live! 7.1 or not?

Thanks,

Fedcer

pretty much all motherboards come with onboard audio but soundcard will give you richer better sound

The Nforce audio chipset is actually really good. I don't think it's 7.1 tho. If you have speakers needing 7.1 or digital jacks, then go for the Sound Blaster. Otherwise you might hold off and see how you like the integrated sound. If you don't like it, get the soundblaster.

In DFI's page (http://us.dfi.com.tw/Product/xx_prod...YPE=LP&SITE=US) it says it is 7.1
