I'm trying to decide between these two sound cards to replace my MX300. Both have received fine reviews, and the price difference is about $10 (Philips being more expensive). I don't want to go the SoundBlaster route, so these two cards made the cut. I play some games, and watch DVDs, and I'm tired of the random screech the MX300 seems to need to do. I don't have 5.1 speakers yet (just Midiland-480 speakers and subwoofer), but I might get some when we finally find a house to buy.
Anyone have opinions on the subject?
My system:
Asus P2B-B
PIII 900Mz
192MB SDRAM
ATI Radeon AIW
Samsung SyncMaster 955DF
Diamond Monster Sound MX300 (for now)
DVD Drive, CD-RW, Cable Modem, blah, blah, blah.
