Sb Live with optiplex gx270

i recently got a used optiplex. the owner said it has the ac97 on board audio. i have run belarc, winaudit, device mgr and there is NO indication of what the onboard model is. i opened the cover but could find no meaningful #'s - so i came up with a scheme to bail me out!. i have an sb Live! ct4780 card from an old dimension 8300 i had. can i use this card in my optiplex and i was gonna use driver R69382. does this sound do-able...anxious to hear from you, aloha

    First, this is not the section for Optiplex support.  The Workstation/Optiplex section is where you should have posted. 
     
    If the integrated AC97 audio is not working, it may just need reinstalled and you should be able to download the driver from the Dell downloads.  On many Dimension desktops there are Intel chipset drivers that define what is on the motherboard but I don't know about an Optiplex. 
     
    The old SoundBlaster may work. 
     
    Best to post your questions on the proper forum section where those familiar with the Optiplex's can assist you.
