hi guys,

never done this before but im guessing that to install a new sound card you simply just have to slot it into the pci slot, book up the machine and windows will auto detect it? Sure they wont be anything else needed? At the moment im just using the onboard sound on my mobo but iv ordered a new card.

Thanks in advance

Yip, it will autodetect though you may need to cancel the process as some driver packages just run a standalone .exe from the driver CD & you'll need to disable the on-board sound in the bios.
 
ok thanks for that.

I ordered an OEM x-fi card earlier.. i take it this includes driver cd? No box or nothing im sure but there should be a cd!
