- What's the difference between the SoundBlaster, SoundBlaster Pro, and
- the SoundBlaster Pro Basic? I'm looking mostly for a sound source for
- game playing. The SoundBlaster products seem to be the most prevalent
- in my local stores, but what about the others (ThunderBoard, Adlib, etc)?
-
- What's a MIDI Interface? I guess since I don't know what one is, I
- don't need one - but I'm still curious.
-
- Email replies are probably best (fastest), since I may just go out and
- buy one of these things this week. The SoundBlaster is on sale for $89
- this week at our local Best Buy store, so I'd like to get the sale
- price if this is the board I decide on. EggHead has the Pro-Basic
- on sale for $159 also. Are these good prices?
-
- Thanks for your help.
