Not sure what IMHO I am trying to Google it lol. So with a new higher quality sound card going into the PCI slot. Maybe they make pciExpress. I will have to check. But the sound card doesn't just affect the playback right? Will it give us a better DAW product? Higher fidelity? Or having a better sound card won't affect that? I don't want to consider a 100 dollar card if it doesn't do anything for my recording and just improves my listening pleasure.

At least I don't want to do that right now. I have some things to pay off. I just spent about 1,400 on BiaB Audiophile, 3 iZotope Plugins, Roland QuadCapture Interface, Casio WK-3000 Keyboard. Yes the keyboard sounds like an embarassement. Casio sounds like a child's toy. But it got high reviews and it is used in mind condition and won it for 140.00 delivered cost. So it will be something to give me something to play with some midi with at the very least. though I sold some things and selling more on Ebay I am down to about a 600 dollar debt soon. 400 dollars in a couple days. So I was lucky to sell an old broken Lexus for 350 also. I hope it all was a good investment and I bought the right things this time. For example my iZotope Studio plugins. I hope they truly do some masterful things beyond stock plugins. They cost me a whopping 399 dollars on sale. My luck RealBand could nearly do me the same with some stock plugins that could be given. I think there is something with the iZotope plugins though that could help me. Though I did experiment with them the other day and I wasn't impressed. Though I just started and didn't give it much of a chance.
