Now, I've ordered up tha tslew of replacement parts and pretty much doing the complete new PC when it all turns up in a week... And I've suddenly found it really hard to actually get any enthusiasm to play the games I'm currently doing... It's that "better memory, graphics, cpu" expectantly waiting, and that part of my head thats saying why play anything now when it'll perform so much better in a week or two....

So out of curiosity, how many people actually put a Soundcard in their pc these days or who still relies on that fact that onboard Motherboard sound is pretty decent? I'm having one of those old gaffer moments of "when I was a kid, you had to have a soundcard or you'd only get 4 tones of beep from your pc"...
