Iwill kk266 does onboard sond hurt?

[cosmo72]

Since the Iwill kk266 has onboard sound, will it hinder me adding a SB live gamer 5.1 or the sana cruz(could of gotten this name wrong) sound card?

Thanks
Cosmo

nope, there's a jumper to disable the onboard audio. i hear the onboard is supposed to be pretty decent tho..

The onboard sound is extremely decent. I actually like it more than than the soundblaster 5.1 I was using. Plus the Soundblater is so freakin' invasive. Also it's a lot easier to install. give it a try.

I'm using the Onboard sound, and I like it alot. Much better than my Creative Low Budget Ensoniq PCI... Plus it's all built in, so no extra card in slot. Definitely give it a shot.. it has worked on all the games I've tried it on so far...

Unreal
MS Age of Kings (AOE II)
NFL Fever 2000

this is kind of off topic... but how does iwill k266 handle when overclocked?

I don't think it's too off topic. Onboard sound is a feature of the motherboard. As for how the kk266 handles being overclocked, my 1000Mhz Tbird is at 1200Mhz (150x8.0 cas2)with pretty much no effort and using a $70 stick of generic pc133 (256mb) ram. Not too bad, but I really haven't had too much time to mess with it.
