I have an ASUS K8N socket 754 in the computer I finished to build.

Maybe I made a mistake by installing a Creative Audigy Sound Card ever since the mobo comes with onboard sound system.

However I noticed that the Creative Sound Card has a 24 bit Digital Audio and 24 bit Audio Playback versus the onboard sound from ASUS which is only 16 bits.

Should I remove the Sound Card and its driver?...or keep it?

unless your an audiophile you wont be able to tell the difference. i suspect your using crappy speakers (compared to an audiophiles setup) so it doesnt matter to you. if you already have it installed just leave it. makes no difference.

this is my boomstick!

Yeah, what he ^ said.

I haven't bought a sound card since I owned a 350Mhtz celeron, and I would consider myself a hardcore gamer and listen to a lot of MP3z. Unless you're doing some in-depth audio shiznit like editting and stuff, I would just stick with onboard and never look back.

If you're a gamer you will take a CPU performance hit if you use onbard sound. I say if you have a soundcard inside, use it and save those cycles.
