- I may get the Microsoft sound board but only because I do not use
- any DOS programs to speak of and I don't use any games (yet...but when
- I do buy a game it must run under MS Windows).

- The MS sound board, as far as I can tell, is mostly for people like
- myself who principally use Windows and are not major game players (if
- I only had the time :^( ). For instance, there is no port for a joy
- stick.
