Sound Card

[Q]

I want to install a sound card on this machine (KT7a). Right now it has a vid card in slot 1 (PCI SIS) and a nic in slot 4 and 128mb PC 133. Slots 2, 3, 5 & 6 are available. Is one slot preferable over another one?

Typically I try to put any card in any slots other than the top and bottom. On some motherboards the top slot shares an IRQ with the video and the USB shares an IRQ with the bottom slot. I get pretty good results sticking with that.

Okey dokey, I'll give it a whirl.

Then again, maybe I'll just wait till I get some speakers. DOH.

*Q skulks off wondering why she would want to put a sound card in a machine with no speakers*

hehehe. Yeah, you might want to get some of those too.

ROFL is encouraged

...at least I didn't install it and drive myself crazy trying to figure out why it wouldn't work.
