OK Youse guys…… I need some quick educatin' here. I am aware of 3 sound boards for the PC (well 4 if you count both versions of the Sound Blaster card.) We got the Sound Blaster and the SBPRO cards, the ADLIB card and a Roland card. OF these cards, the only one I know anything about is the Sound Blaster card, and what I know is that it comes with stereo speaker hook ups, a MIDI interface (or connection) and a game port. Now……..What are the advantages and drawbacks to each of the cards, is there one that sounds better or has more software support than the others, what price ranges are we talking about with these cards, do they really work, what are your preferences, am I diddling myself…<grin>. Are these enough questions to get a good discussion going ??????
