By best, I mean what types of features like Wavetable and synthesizer support, audio in/out support on card, and sampling rates for recording and playback. MIDI isn't needed, and joystick control isn't a big deal. If it needs OSS drivers and options, no big deal there, either. Stability is a nice thing, though :-) I'd like to run some basic games (Quake and the such) on the box, and also pipe in sound from an entertainment center. Mostly, though, mp3's and CD audio is what I'd be doing with it, and piping that out to the entertainment center (I know, I know, mp3's suck for quality, but, hey...). The system is an AMD k7/750 w/ 256MB RAM, 2940U2W SCSI controller w/ a 18G LVD drive, running 4.1 -S. I'm not thinking there will be any limitations caused by the system. Thanks a lot!!!
