The creative speakers do rock. and TWL might be giving away a set of travel speakers, so stay tuned.

I have to get a sound card soon :) my onboard sound card lags up when there are heavy graphics or high cpu usage (Far cry cinema scenes)

ouch...

are you using ac97 ?

indeed

yeah.. when i had ac 97 i just used a soundblaster live 5.1.. (I hated that card too)

I found a forum in Ireland with a classified/wanted for techies so I will just ask for one there.

and replacing graphics lag for things my computer does wrong: *sound lag*

hmmm..... logic please? is this not a little better than graphics lag?

the sound goes slower than the graphics

sound is on 33mhz pci bus and graphics on 66mhz agp bus...
