170405 2003-08-25 08:05:00 PS/2 ports are for your keyboard and mouse. You should find little icons stamped alongside the ports to indicate which port is which. tommy (2826)

170408 2003-08-25 09:00:00 Some later motherboards (on-board sound) allow you to reprogram the Line In socket to Line Output signals in addition to the actual Line Output socket, to allow you to connect 5.1 audio systems.

You need to read the motherboard / chipset manual to see if that is supported. Mine suppots it, but never likely to use it.
