| 166761 | 2003-08-11 07:07:00 | Hi, I'm shopping around for a sound card and my local shop has 2 cards available. They are:............... Sound Blaster SE 5.1 and a Genius Sound Maker 5.1 I only really want the card to hook up some speakers to get good sound out of my DVD-ROM. Which one is better? The Genius one is heaps cheaper, so is it any good? Any info would be great. Thanks |

| 166764 | 2003-08-11 10:02:00 | I Remember I compared those 2 cards ages ago from their website..... according to memory, i think soundblaster is slightly better..... y dont u spend a little bit more money and get audigy instead? | Blue_face (1148) | ||
| 166765 | 2003-08-11 10:20:00 | Oscar, go with the Sound Blaster. They've been consistently good for years. You can get a SB 5.1 card for around $30 if you shop around. Mike. |
