Should I use my new motherboards built in audio or should I stick with the sb 128 pci? Using the built in wouldn't take a few milisecs of the processors back?

You're assuming that we know which motherboard you're considering.

BPB is right...we are not psychic...

but besides that, please remeber that not all onboard sound cards are ****..MSI's onboard sound is very decent....

I know know, it's gonna be a ASROCK PEPRO SIS645, should I stick with the sound card or no... using the built in would free the processor a bit?

All built-in audio sections use more CPU cycles than cards do, but some are so good that it doen't matter. Besides, a 2.0GHz CPU can spare some cycles! :cool:

The C-Media audio on the Asrock is 5.1 and quite good.
