external sound card or this upgrade

Deep · 7 Oct 2006 at 22:47

im considering getting a laptop and i want to play my songs and watch dvds in good sound on it.

i have been offered this upgrade Integrated Sound Blaster® Audigy® ADVANCED HD™ Audio- Full Version for £24, is this any good or should i buy a usb sound card?

can i also use speakers from richer sounds into either of these parts?

the laptop i want doesnt have a PCMCIA slot, it has an express slot what ever that is.

even tho i am going to be watching dvds i only want a decent 2.1, but im gonna get some bookshelfs from richer sounds.

Audio ports: Stereo Line-out (external speakers/headphone) and external microphone-in connector (mono)

thats the ports so what connections would i use and what would i need?
