I'm getting ready to upgrade my computer. I know there are a lot of smart people out there. Any advice or opinions would be greatly appreciated. QUESTION 1: I have been looking at Creative Lab sound cards. The 16 bit version is about $75. The Awe 64 is only about $20 more. Which one should I get and which one is most compatible with N2? QUESTION 2: I'm going to upgrade my CPU to MMX. The 166 is about $150 and the 200 is about $200. Keep in mind I am an overclocker. So the CPU I install will be overclocked. Which CPU will give me the best performance and keep me current for the longest period of time? Karter Aint Christmas grand

Forget Creative and get a better card. I have an Ensoniq Soundscape. No problems in *ANY* games and works great with N2. Get the fastest one you can afford. I have a 200MMX so I would not reccomend a 166MMX. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes.
