I agree... I had a customer last year come in and give his big speech before I could say a word on exactly what parts he wanted and that he wouldn't accept any different... I said fine... then he got to the sound card and said that he wanted the SB Live and nothing else... as he was saying this.. he pointed to our demo system that was playing my MP3's thru a set of Altech's and said I want it to sound like that... not that crappy BS onboard sound..... I just looked at him and said... Sir... that is onboard sound. He ended up going with onboard sound and is quite happy with it.
