thanks for all the reply's minds made up gonna get it.....

please can some one advise me of a good sound card?
still running xp and the card in it is a sound blaster that what came with the pc when i got it.yes its a gaming card hence the change.
what i would like the advice on is just the play back of the card as i do not need it for recording as i use another pc for this which i am happy with so all i really need to achieve is a good output sound .
i wouild prefer an internal card.
thanks tj
