There are some benefits with USB sound-cards, lower noise being the main one.

But in the main, I really don't understand the obsession with attaching everything to the USB...

It is the ultimate goal... to have a single universal connector for everything. Ok that will never happen, but with things like USB/Firewire we are getting close :-)


Everything, though? I certainly like the idea of interchangable peripherals but when it gets to the point where you're (hypothetically speaking for now) running a full-blown 3D card over a slow serial bus, I think it's over-complicating things in the name of simplicity.

And if you unplug everything... Where's the PC gone? ;-)

I do like hotplugging USB though, that's nice (and something I've begun to take for granted.)
