Dennis, I've already got a retail sound blaster live platinum 5.1 with the TT3500 Cambridge system on another machine. So I'll see how the built in sound works out. If I need to, I can get a SB Live! Platinum 5.1 at NewEgg for $65. It won't have the separate 5 1/4 I/O insert, but I really don't need two of the inserts. I can run a pass thru from the digital out on the OEM card into the I/O insert through to the TT3500. For $65, I should have ordered it with the other stuff, but I have this quirk that nags at me if I disable a perfectly functional sound card<g>. Normally, I would have gotton the board without the sound option, but AMD is not producing that chip set commercially (they'd rather make CPU's and have VIA/ALI produce the glue chips), and I just made sure I got the first one I found in stock. By the way, that Radeon 64 DDR card looks like it has some super video and capture capabilites and I'll probably disable the sound card sooner than I think.
