Hello All,
Recently got my Dell 4550 through gotapex deals page. I am looking for suggestion for a good budget sound card (less than $100). I have also got a couple of Infinity RS5 loudspeakers lying around, which I won't mind hooking up to my pc, if possible.
Currently looking at Santa Cruz, Hercules Fortissimo II and Audigy 5.1. Any suggestions??

Thanks.

I've always liked the Sound Blaster cards.

There's an Audigy on the front page for $49. That'd come in
well under your budget! :)

Santa Cruz, hands down. Priced right, too.

santa cruz, I'm getting fed up with my audigy's crappy xp drivers.

Well, looks like the consensus is to go with santa cruz. Know of any good deals going around these days for the card??

Thanks.

NewEgg (http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduct.asp?submit=manufactory&catalog=57&manufactory=1431&DEPA=1&sortby=14&order=1) is only a dollar more than the cheapest retailer on Price Watch...
