Yeah, I mean there may be a couple of very expensive cards that
dramatically sound better but on-board sound is just fine. I play games
with a cheap headphone game set and it sounds good to me. I can even get a
good idea of the direction the sounds are coming from. What more do I need?

I've used nothing but onboard sound for a few years now and won't look
back, unless I have a specialty application that requires a sound card.

Personally, if you replace the board you need to get rid of W2K. New
mobo, new chipset means it's very likely you won't find any support for
an OS that old. Oh yeah, on board sound is ok by me. I did a comparison
several months ago with a SB Live card and it wasn't any better than
Realtech on board sound to my old ears. I just got rid of 3 copies of
Windows XP and I'm done with anything older than Vista which should be
supported with one more service pack and until Windows 8 when it
arrives 2-3 years from now. No offense Sam, but there seems little
point in using W2K and everything going to 64 bit as well.

My existing Asus mobo has quit the sound. an A8N-VM.
I tried an Asus Zonar DX pci exp. sound card.
I contacted Asus and they told me there is no driver that will work on
W2K.The sales literature did not mention this.
Expensive but the drivers mess up my W2K OS so I need another
solution.
Is there another card that will work with W2K?
2; If I get a new mobo with sound like the Asus M4A785TD-V EVO can I
plug my HD with W2K OS into it and boot up.
Or will I have to do a complete fresh install?
I really do not want to leave my W2K.
