7.1 Speaker System using M/B

[s18000rpm]

i have Intel 915G M/B with onboard Sound Card (RealTek 7.1). On the back of my CPU there are many "outlets" for various speakers, Front L/R; Rear L/R; Centre; Sub....; etc.

now i wanted to know whether i can just buy some SPEAKERS & a SUB/W & plug it into the slots.

Will this WORK?????????

anyway rather get 5.1 speakers with sub 2k creative sound card

No man i'm not goin in for any hardware upgrade for the next 6 months, i just wanna have fun with games in an 7.1 environment.


& is there GFX cards with Physics Processors (i've been reading 'out that in the mag , but dont remember exactly).

you can't use 7.1 surround sound unless you have 7.1ch speakers, do you have?

no, ther are not graphics card with physx at the moment, nvidia and ati will provide a solution where a mother board with 3X PCI E slots will have 2 for graphic card and 1 for phyxs and in phyx the graphic card will be inserted, however that may be weaker yet more expensive that a phyx unit itself

yes my M/B has a onboard Sound card Realtek which supports 7.1 Channel speaker system.

that's wat i said , my M/B has many (back of CPU) outlets for speakers & sub/W.

I've managed plug in 2.1 speakers int he normal speakers port and then another 2.0 speakers into the rear channel slot. It worked. I've got...4.1 sound now....
