I just bought a computer.. but it came with the following two things that i am uncertain about...
Video Card
• 128 bit 2D/3D 100MHz 64MB AGP. Support Hardware DVD Accelerator
• Shared memory architecture allows a maximum of 64MB main memory. Supports high resolution up to 1920X1440 Hi-colors, up to 2048X2048 Texture size and Virtual screen up to 4096X4096
• AGP 4X Mode - One AGP slot for AGP 2.0 and PCI 2.2 specification compliant
Sound Card
• Onboard 3D Sound
• RealTek ALC-100 sound chip
• PC'97 2.1 compliant
• Supports 18-bit ADC (Analog Digital Converter) and DAC (Digital Analog Converter)
• Support 18-bit full-duplex stereo sound
are these any good? i have no idea.. should i invest my money in a Geforce 2or3 and a Soundblaster card? I already bought Klipsch's v2. THX speakers so i got a good system goin.. just wondering.. i've been using this laptop and its generic sound card that came with the comp when i first bought it.. and it seems pretty alrite.. so I'm wondering if that sound card that came with the Comp is any good.. any feedback is helpful... THANX!!
