Do all sound cards work separate from the CPU??

ADE · 09-10-2006, 10:10 PM

I was out bid.

Lol, I wasn't expecting you to have time to bid for that one at all - there's plenty more where that came from, I just posted that item to give you an idea of a price range for a used Audigy 4. Keep looking - the next one down the line is this, only it's new, so will probably fetch more.

ADE · 09-10-2006, 10:19 PM

Should I get this one? Since its a 4 series it will take the load off right???

Yes if you want, it's the same card as the ones in the above 2 auctions, and that's a very decent price by the looks of it. I somehow doubt they have 999 in stock, though...

This is the chip that takes the load off the cpu:

sweet. Computer parts at a bargain are like candy to an overweight child.

Is there any difference between the 4 and the 4 SE?

I bought the one listed above in the link. That one cost less overall with shipping. It has 100% positive reviews, so that one is just like the other. Both 4 and the 4 SE are the same right?

Impr3ssiv3 · 09-11-2006, 02:50 AM

actually the SE one is not as high tech as the other one

the SE only gets up to 96 kHz while the other goes up to 192 kHz

and the Audigy4 is cheaper so id get it

ADE · 09-11-2006, 03:34 AM

S**t. So I got the wrong one. So I wont get as good sound quality huh? I was hoping you'd reply sooner, but I thought they'd be the same. Curse my impatient ways. Is it worth calling off the buy and getting the non SE. And why the heck would they call it special edition if its less special than the original???? AAAHHHH!!! I should have waited for you reply!
