I'm already thinking about what I can buy to fill up the PCI slots on my Mediator, and I'm wondering what a PCI sound card will allow me to do that I can't already? Presumably the PCI sound card won't work in games that turn off the OS? What about MP3 playback, will the DSP chip on the PCI sound card assist the OS with decoding MP3s and make it possible to play them on my Blizzard 1240?
Thanks
Mark
