Hello guys !!!
I want your opinion on that...
I have an ASUS P4C800e-deluxe motherboard with AC SoundMAX (6 channel) soundcard on-board and on the other hand (from my old computer) I have Sounblaster Live! 1024. Which card is better to put to my PC and why ?
Thank you in advance !!!

The 1024 is getting a bit long in the tooth now. It was a good value budget card and worked well. But in a head to head with your onboard SoundMax you will find that it's age will show.I personally would stick to the Soundmax, but if you do a lot of music editing then your best option would be to buy a more up to date card.
