WTB an older soundcard

Scorpionic · 08-February-05, 12:22 PM

I've got kind of a fix here. I have an old pentium 2 400mhz running win XP (slowly, I might add). Anyway, it has a sound card in there, but it's ancient, I'm talking like a sound blaster pro 8 bit card. It's not compatible with win XP, and soundblaster 16 drivers won't work with it etc.

I've checked local stores, but they only sell modern stuff like the audigy, which this computer doesn't meet the minimum requirements of. I need something cheap and simple, like a sound blaster 64 or so, that will be compatible with older technology and win XP. I'm looking to spend about 10-15 bucks, so if anyone has an old sound card collecting dust, I'm interested. =)

Would a Creative Soundblaster Live work Scorpionic?

Are you looking for an ISA card or a PCI card?
