Hi all,

I have recently built a new system using an AMD 2600 and an MSI K7N2-Delta L motherboard. I used my trusty old Sound Blaster 5.1 Live card thinking it was bound to be better than the built-in audio.

Question is - is it?
I've found that Unreal Tournament 2003 (and a few other games) slows considerably when Hardware 3D surround is enabled - would the Nforce audio work better?

To add to the mix, I have the chance to buy the S-bracket which doesn't come with the basic MSI boards, and will give me SPDIF in and out
Its the bog-standard MCP chipset, not the spangly Dolby MCP-T version, by the way.

Anyone have any thoughts?
