Joe,
None of the audio cards you mentioned are contenders any longer. Today, you
should be looking for an MPC compatable audio card at the very least. The
reason? When you upgrade to Windows 3.n (or so I've heard) you'll need to
have an MPC compatible card to be used as a system resource. There are a
few MPC compatable audio cards out there today:
Soundblaster II – $295
Pro Audio Spectrum from Media Vision – $395
Ad Lib Gold card – (Still not shipping)
These are just a few of the many. I'm sure others will chime in on what
their favourite cards are. I, of course, must stand back from such
recomendations 8-).
John
