    I wish to purchase a sound card for a P200 and i stumbled upon a sound blaster live 1024 with 4 surround sound speakers and a ground vibration thing for £119.99
    Is this wort it?
    Can i get better?
    Can i getter cheaper better ones?
    We all get a little crazy sometimes.

    Yeah thats about right, considering the cards themselves retail for around £70

    you could also buy the card itself and plug it into your stereo smile.gif

    the live is a good card. just be careful you install it ok, sometimes there are issues. but should be grand.there are 2 pci cards in the pack as far as i remember so make sure you have 2 free slots....

    there is only one pci card but there is a second bit of a card which conntects to the first via a cable but requires a slot at the back of the machine so you could stick it in any bay be it isa or pci
