Will W-7 improve audio recording from my Realtek audio HD?

what the hardware you are using, I use Audacity for recording and editing,normalizing, and VLC for playback, of course a good sound card gives the best results, I use Realtek HD on board sound with a USB mic set to DVD quality, sound is OK with Zalman 5.1 headphones

only hardware is

Realtek HD audio ( onboard sound - from an asus p5q )

specs are

2 gigs RAM
core 2 duo 2.6ghz
40 gig SSD hard drive...
8800 gts
and Windows XP sp3

Everything should work fine.

the source audio is a DJ mixer. ( im using a rca to 3.5 headphone plug >> that goes into Line-In )

i'm debating whether to buy a creative sound blaster xi-fi... don't need the best sound ever, but recording has to be clear and at the right level.

Just bought a new sound card...
line-in audio source sounds great and plays clearly.

i think its time to give up on xp

SOLVED

WINDOWS 7 Pro x64 is a drastic improvement, everything is fixed and sounds great.

also ( I had the wrong RCA to 3.5mm adapater cable, my version was mono, i switched to a stereo one and sound improved drastically)
