    Duron Motherboards

    Well, If she's not interested in excellent sound or 4.1 sound, just stereo, then the integrated chip will be a great solution for her.

    Opinion: Is it worth it to upgrade from FPS1000 --> FPS2000

    but, hey those Klipsh and DTS3500 and all the other speakers cost pretty DAMN much for some speakers, so if ure like me and dont bother to have speakers that will blow your head off while sitting with the comp, the FPS2000 will probably be sufficent, and i personally think my labtec 2514...

    Opinions on my brand new system appreciated...
