23816 2001-11-07 00:19:00 Ive got a pentium 2 with 128mb ram and 12gb hard drive, i use my computer for mainly surfing the net, games and a few minor other things. im wanting to upgrade my soundcard to a soundblaster audigy so i can hook my computer through my stereo to listen to all my mp3s. will i need more ram and will my computer be fast enough to surf etc while also listening to music?

thanx in advance

as much as i love kick ass hardware it would be better to go buy a SBlive, they are way cheaper and you could use the extra money on upgradeing the rest of the system(like the cpu and that tenny weeny hardrive;-) ).

23821 2001-11-12 16:02:00 A soundblaster live is fine for mp3s costs around $100 2nd hand it pays to get cable and use winmx or morpheus have over 2000 mp3s myself, now more into movies dvds vcds etc
