Anyone recommend any good sound cards? Something compatiable w/ windows xp (and hopefully windows xp)?

You should pick the one that looks good and makes the best sound when you throw it out of the window of the 10th floor.

If your going for quality, then try the Creative PCMCIA Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Notebook or Sound Blaster X-Fi.
If your going for just something to work, give me your mail address *cough*So-I-can-send-a-bum-to-rape-and-kill-you*cough*, and I'll send you one for free (just requires shipping and handling fees). Or you can find on on ebay.com.

-Your buddy, blah-er

P.s don't take the cough seiroulsy...

What does your motherboard come with, because 9 times out of 10, I'm pretty sure that it will do just fine. Speakers make a much bigger difference in sound than comparing high/low quality sound cards.

On that note, good sound cards are so over. Hardware accelerated TCP/IP is where it is at now-a-days. That thing could run Subspace completely without a problem.

I suggest you shouldn't get vista, unless your using somthing for 64 bit, or if you want a better GUI in your every day life. Other then that, vista is just going to use up most of your resources. I don't know yet if MS is going to make a new GDK+ for vista, but they'll still make SPs for XP users and have support along with it.

Other then that, I don't know what the hell I'm talking about, if that answers any of your questions.

blah-er... shut up.

It all depends on the specifications of your computer if you want Vista.
It may not eat all processes up.

I was thinking about getting vista. I probably will get it with my getting a new computer in christmas my comp will probably come with it already on it.

I would expect the computer would be way more expensive than todays computers that are for sale.

You would need high specifications if you want a fast Vista running on a computer.

I tried Vista and it sucked for me... too much of these security alerts - you have to go through a whole menu just to get to Task Manager,

Still give it a shot, you'd be surpised. Anytime you resize a window, move it to another desktop, etc, it is buffered nicely on the video card itself. Bonus is that OpenGL games and any video Overlays work nicer together.

I wouldent get vista for playing games. I would get it for its better and sleeker GUI. But if itd going to be out in january then forget it. But I thought I read somewhere that it was comming out this year.

Vista looks nice.

So does the XP-Vista Transformation pack

I hate the new desktop icons, and I hate the sidebar.

(FYI, the sidebar on the real Windows Vista looks nothing like the one in the XP-Vista Transformation pack screenshots)

The window title bars remind me of kde, which I associate with slowness.
