I just picked up these awsome 5.1 speakers. I have not set up yet but I was wondering how good they will be on Nforce2 soundstorm 5.1 or do I really need to upgrade to a audigy2 or whatever to take advantage of these things.
Thanks
If I glanced at a spilt box of tooth picks on the floor, could I tell you how many are in the pile. Not a chance, But then again I don't have to buy my underware at Kmart.
Though I don't own one and can't speak from experience, from what I've read the NForce2's onboard 5.1 sound is actually pretty high quality. Not as good as an Audigy 2, but better than, say a Soundblaster Live! 5.1 for example. I would plug it in and see for yourself. If you aren't happy with it you can always add a sound card later.

I actually have those speakers hooked up to a nForce2 MCP-T chip. The sound is great. Though these speakers offer only an analog connection, they sound really good. I played KotOR and Call of Duty, and played some MP3s so far with them and I can say that I'm far from disappointed Note: Make sure you have the latest nForce2 audio drivers.
