http://www.mandrakeuser.org/docs/hardware/hres2.html#Sound has two links, one for OSS and one for ALSA. Check out both for supported devices, but I'd try for a card supported by ALSA. You should also take a look inside that Compaq to see if you have available pci and/or isa slots, what IRQ's are free, and if the Compaq currently has onboard sound... can it be disabled in bios? Make sure you don't buy anything that needs closed source proprietary drivers. -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas
