I just upgraded my computer and it's got the Nforce APU onboard. It's gooooood. Except they had to cripple it by using a Realtek ALC650 for the analog i/o. (45dB SNR)
But it's only a $60 mobo, so coaxial & digital S/PDIF output (and Nforce's real-time Dolby Digital encoding) was a bonus.
Does anyone have the new Guillemot/Hercules soundcards?
I am interested in the Fortissimo III 7.1 or Game Theater XP 7.1
but my local computer shop also has the Sonic Fury for US$90 (OEM).
Would this be a better buy?
With my PC's case fan whistling away I don't know if it's even worth it.
