USB Sound Card

I am not the one you pinged,
but here's a pong btw:

SoundBlaster Extigy USB card appears pretty good.
Should run in any computer with a USB port.
Probably sold in most places, even office supply stores.

It's a bit pricey, over $100 but has good specs
for most purposes. Just buy it where you can return
it if you're not happy or it doesn't do whatever
you are expecting it to do.

If your computer is on the slow side, a bit retarded
like mine, and you have too much running, then
the USB sound card will cackle a bit when it
chomps down on the CPU:
a sort of electronic hiss-spit with gremlims

Thanks, everyone who answered my query. Fortunately, DH got a B I G bonus
today so we're going out and EACH getting a new computer!!!! Woohoo.

We both got Intel Celeron 2.6 GHZ, 80GB HD, 512MB ram w/ DVD and CDRW
drives! We haven't stepped away from them since. LOL.

Are they networked? I find it usefull to back-up important files (like cat
pictures) to another computer. If they're both fitted with network cards or
onboard networking all you need is a crossover cable.

Hiya - yep, we're networked, and eventually DH wants to set up a VPN or
something using the three "old" computers.. he made me buy three network
cables but so far they are still in the package. LOL.
