    Macho there is no point putting sound cards and speaker configuration because the PC audio equipment is very very limited in SL......Only about 2 shops in the whole of unity will have a X-Fi card(For the popular ones) All the others have the 3.5k Audigy value(which i cant call a real sound card)...As for the speakers creative has dominated the whole market of Unity Plaza.Creative speakers are only good if you listen to those old classical music(Monawa karannada..?!) There are very decent brands like Logitech,Edifier,Klipsch etc which are very rare in SL......

    But if you really want i can come up with something......
    Ammata udu,Klipsch lankave thiyenavada?mama ahala thiyenava name eka.Siraa badu lu neda?Keyak venavada?
    Any way come up with somrthing including C-media 8738 5 way too :P :P ultra super low end thama.But what to do.Try to give me something.I'll edit it with SL market and put it with your name :D

    Well zCexVe since SL has 98% creative sound cards....and onboard is far better than that C-Media card which is the size of a lan card..........

    5.1 Setups

    Low end=Audigy value,Xtreme Audio+Inspire M5300/SBS 580

    Mid Range=Xonar DX,Audiotrak Prodigy,Xtreme Music etc(I dont think you can find in SL)+Inspire T6100,Logitech G51,X540 etc

    High end=Asus Xonar D2,Auzentech X-Fi Prelude,Auzentech X-Meridian+Logitech Z5500,Edifier S750,Klipsch Promedia 5.1 Ultra etc

    2.1 setups
    The cards re the same
    Low end=SBS 370(The best you can get...good base for the price) The new ones below the SBS 370 are all crap! and there is this new Edifier model i cant remember the name........Also you get microlab which is cheap the quality is also cheap.....

    Mid Range=Most certainly the ATP3,Some of the inspire T series etc

    High end=Logitech Z2300,Roth Audio Audioblob2,Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 160watt

    well to knowledge thats pretty much it.......n zCexVe you don't have to put my name....its your thread..u asked me to do something and i helped!..........

    Yeah but i consider the Mx5021 between mid and high........overall aspects..and the Mx5021 subwoofer is no match for the Z2300 or the mentioned above........

    meh,ppl I need you to say the three prize ranges for the low,med and high end.Low will be 30k.High should be around 90~100k.What should be the mid? 50 or 60?

    Hmm ,that adds 20k for the low.Meh,Biostar and Asrock do not have stock.And Foxconn have some troubles with their mobos.We see some performance difference(low in foxconn than ASrock :P) too.

    :P :P :P I never liked any of those brands......There is this Foxconn board with 945 chipset(cant remember the model) core series or something which has 1066FSB+667 Ram speed and somewhat good overclocker compared to the other competitors....Cheap too

    The Foxconn 945 CMS supports 667 but runs in 533 bus :P ASrock has the FSB and RAM speed in their board name.For example the newest is wolfdale 1333-667.So you know what it have :P :D Anyway I'm tended to love ASrock now.They give whole lot of features + 33% OC for 6250 which others cant beat considering value per features+performance.Also a lower level of faulty.
