| 579686 | 2007-08-11 21:59:00 | Rob, re: mp3s, I should have explained that he will use the pc for making his own CDs, of his own original music. He does not have a mp3 player and probably does not even know what its all about. http://www.tascam.co.nz/ Tascam portastudio is like a console that you can plug you guitar/drums/bass etc record direct to the desk and burn to cd straight away, has mixer so you can adjust whatever you record to how you like it.

| 579688 | 2007-08-11 22:19:00 | Thanks Rob. Can anyone tell me about an ALL IN ONE MOTHERBOARD - does this mean that a sound card or a video card cannot be added? |

| 579689 | 2007-08-11 22:23:00 | Pretty much, most cases will be stock standard cards which havent got much grunt. | rob_on_guitar (4196) | ||
| 579690 | 2007-08-11 22:50:00 | Thanks Rob. Can anyone tell me about an ALL IN ONE MOTHERBOARD - does this mean that a sound card or a video card cannot be added? An all in one mobo will be fine, just add a PCI sound card... My DFI NF4 SLI-DR mobo comes with the NF4 audio codec and I have just added a Creative Audigy SE (not the best but Meh) and it works... You can add anything if you have the expansion slot for it... like onboard GFX, you can use a GFX card rather than the onboard if you add it in... |

| 579691 | 2007-08-12 05:15:00 | Thanks Rob. Can anyone tell me about an ALL IN ONE MOTHERBOARD - does this mean that a sound card or a video card cannot be added? All in one motherboard means it comes with "on board" sound and video. Whether this works for your friend, as is, I have no idea. The video will also use a certain amount of RAM depending on how set up in the BIOS. This is why some people will say,"I have 256 Megs RAM but software only shows a figure that is less." The motherboard may, or may not, accept another video card except PCI or even AGP. Is PCI-e an option? You can almost certainly insert a Creative X-fi PCI sound card in the box assuming you have enough unused slots. This has enough input and output for most. |

Anyone have a better suggestion, for less than $200 ? [edit] the link you gave is not for the Z2300, but I found a review on CNET that gives a high rating: e.g. "the audio's superb power and accuracy. Simply put, they sound magnificent. ... The bottom line: If you're looking for a set of 2.1 speakers, buy these. It's as simple as that. reviews.cnet.com But then I see some of the user opinions, about poor midtones, etc. so back to searching... |
