p2hvt,

The integrated audio on the 2400 is actually quite nice, and will be sufficent unless you want to run a surround sound system. The video is also decent for onboard video, but will not support a lot of the hardcore gaming. For the sound, if you must upgrade it, I recommend any of the Creative Sound Blaster cards, which you can check out at http://www.soundblaster.com. They have the SB Live! version of the cards which are relatively cheap, and the SB Audigy cards which are a bit higher now, but are great quality. They are PCI cards. If you wanted a video card, it would have to be a PCI card as well, but it would be the last PCI card you could use unless you removed your modem b/c you only have 3 PCI slots.

Hope this helps,

Rob

yo dude !

Well for all round pc performance you really ought to upgrade to 512k ram anyways that is a high priority for you

You will  find that ya pc will run sweeta once done

Also my pc came with dire sound so i upgraded to creative sb audigy 2 s/c and creative 7.1 speakers so all i can say is they were awesome and made such a big impact on everything i did on my pc

Hope this helps bro!

If us pc peeps get in that dilema of this one or that, BUY them both!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for all the info!
