594084 2007-09-23 02:32:00 HI, whats this sound card like? I currently have a Realtek AC97 Audio intergrated sound.

(I have been getting random crashes back to desktop when playing Halo and Battle for Middle Earth (sometimes I can play for 1/2 hr to 1 hr before it happens), and I am assuming its something to do with my intergrated sound?)

cheers

and well your at it.
Check that the case and fans/heatsinks are clean.

Your current integrated sound "should" be able to handle both games which require really low specs to run.
