Dont understand your point here. I bought a non Deluxe A7N8X with what turned out to be shocking realtech onboard sound. I later bought an NF7s with the Nividia sound enabled.Quote:
I think theres normally a bigger price difference than that m8. So far the nforce boards haven't been niggle either have they? So some might prefer a board with no onboard sound and a dedicated sound card. I don't see what Intel has to do with it you can get AMD boards without onboard sound.
Manufacturers make different revisions of NF2 boards, but they tend to have more differences than just the realtech vs nvidia sound alone. My guestimate of £5 was my take on how much you pay extra for the better Nvidia sound enabled.Thats me going off topic, but what level of sound you want is something that every Intel purchaser has to decide, where as with AMD people the choice is alot clearer as high performance low cpu 5 channel gaming sound comes almost for free. Buy an NF2 board with the mcpt (sp?) sound and dont waste cash on the audigy unless you are an audiophile or musician. If you are a standard gamer with a standard sound system then you arnt going to be bothered about the minor difference in quality from the analogue input discussed above.Quote:
This is not a Intel Vs AMD discussion this is a SoundStorm vs Hercules GameSurround Fortissimo II discussion. No?
