replace intel 82801AA controller

[starcraftmaster]

hey i got a intel on board sigmatel 82801AA controller

should i replace it with a avance logic ALS4000 or would that make my system slower

so which one is better

[CoffeeFiend]

It's much like your old PCI video cards (cheapo SE version of a cheapo MX card -- very low end even for years ago, and a 486-era Trident card). Neither is actually good.

Two outdated codecs (the ALS4000 is at least 10 years old, the other one very similar).

A very crappy 5$ no-name sound card is better. $20 motherboards (yuck) on clearance have better audio onboard too.

In fact, I was thinking a few months ago about listing my old SB Live 5.1 Platinum (worlds better than this) on ebay with no reserve, but even at $0.99 they get *zero* bids. Tells you how much your cards are worth.

My brother likes to joke that I could build a computer with only a roll of duct tape and some haywire. I’m not that good but I do enjoy the challenge of building computers out of old parts.

Around here there are free stuff ads for boxes of old computer stuff. If you know what to look for you can find some real gems in there.

Happy hunting.
