Can you recommend me a sound card for my system?

yip, the hercules gametheater xp is the best sound card i know of.

just remember to goto www.hercules.com to get the win2k drivers.

Well if you dont need the breakout box, then you could just go with a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz to achieve the same sound quality.

as i've heard th hecules sound card is like Turtle Beach Santa Cruz(uses the same chip).

IMO the creative labs audigy is better than Turtle Beach Santa Cruz. although i didn't have either of these cards but i've read different articles about them. it seems that Audigy provides much better features:

higher quality sound/noise >100db(officialy) >93(really)
fast proccessing
gold connector
SB1394
advance EAX!!!! (i don't know what this mean but it should be higher EAX2.0 )

you can obtain Audigy for US$60(OEM) and more in <A HREF="http://www.pricewatch.com" target="_new">http://www.pricewatch.com</A>

note: just get Audigy if you don't have a VIA based mobo. there are usualy conflicts between VIA chipsets and Creative sound cards. so keep this in mind.

good luck.
