Brian, I agree with Fred. Integrated chip soution should be cheaper. Most likely, the main board is a different form type. ATX base main board is more ex. than the AT ones. I personnally don't like the Yamaha and the other generic sound chips. They maybe cheap but they have poor quality sound reproduction. An integrated chip will also pose some problems when you intend to upgrade the PC in the future. Also check out whether the wavetable solution is hardware or soft synth based. I had seen a Yamaha soft synth solution (128 voices) that actually commands a higher price than an AWE 64. In actual fact, AWE 64 is a variant form of AWE32. Its 32 voices are hardware based while the remaining 32 are soft synth based. I feel cheated by Creative but there are no better cards around. Derrick
