- I'm trying to pick a soundcard for the 486sx/25 I'm about to buy. I'm
- on a tight budget, so I'm wondering what card is supported by the largest
- number of games, and how many games offer support for the latest soundcards.
- I don't want to spend $220 for a PAS-16 just to have it emulate a $95
- Soundblaster, but I don't want to get stuck in mono if most games will
- support something better. Also *please* mention problems more advanced
- cards have emulating a SoundBlaster, since at least some of the older games
- will require the card to fake Soundblaster-ness.
