Even i was getting it at 1950 with bill and 1900 without.

BTW if you are getting a latest Mobo Intel 925 Chipset above or the MSI Neo4F upwards..you will get ALC 880.

Is it better than the onboard audio of 915 chipset based mobo?Plea............se help.
The onboard 915P uses the ALC 860 HD audio. It's pretty good. Although the SB live wud be definitely better. But you won't notice the difference unless you have very good high end speaker. So choose a good speaker set.


Both ALC 880 and ALC 881 are almost as good as the SB live. And with sufficient RAM and a powerful CPU, CPU utilization shd not be an issue.

All i am saying is that if you are buying a high end board don't spend 2k on the sound card. Later you can buy Audigy if you so desire. But you won't be disappointed with the sound.
