what should i do?

[pacman22]

A friend of mine offered me a sound card for a modest price. i like it but i never heard of this model of creative soundcard.its called "SB Audio PCI" but on the pcb its written somethin` about Compaq.The friend told me that the card was ripped from a Compaq PC.He also told me i can use drivers from creative or ensoniq !? Im puzzled!
Any ideas about the quality of this mysterious card?What shoud i do?

SB Audio PCI is probably the name of the card in the Device Manager. I'd stay away from Compaq cards because they're usually made for Compaqs, but you can give it a shot on your computer. Can you get some more information from the card (i.e. numbers, anything written on the chips of the card or the card itself)? Hope this helps.
