This is another reason I recommend people either build or have built for them a custom PC. I needed to make sure my new motherboard had the correct PCI slots for my Emu 1820M system.

You can still use your SD2 without any extra soundcard. From Ketron's website:

<Note: A separate MIDI to USB cable is required to connect the SD2 to your computer if it does not have MIDI connectors.>

This will take care of the midi part and you run the RCA audio jack from the Ketron to the mini plug line input of your on board soundcard. The thing of course is the quality of that onboard line in is not as good as your M-Audio but depending on your ears you may or may not notice.
