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!!

I would get a geforce 2 and a sound blaster card if you are hardcore gamer, but if you are just using your comp to surf the web and do office work then its not worth investing. Just remember to disable your built in video card and sound when you get your new toys.
