9,700 pala yung 7NNXP? uh, okay... never mind hehe

hmm looks like i'll be going the Audigy 2 route, from the looks of discussion about Soundstorm, nForce 2 audio is plagued with driver problems and poor EAX2 implementation. my Cambridge Soundworks FPS2000 speakers won't work with the Soundstorm's digital output as well, and users are almost unanimous in blasting the analog output quality of nForce2 MCP-T mobos... what a choice, buy a whole new set of speakers with SPDIF input, or get an Audigy or Audigy 2 hehehe

siguro Epox 8RDA3+ nalang kunin ko since I won't be using the Soundstorm, hmmm...
