Does a soundcard really help take off CPU load?
I know that it won't do much, but please, let's not get into a discussion on why I am upgrading an old system instead of getting a new one.
Anyway, I have integrated sound on my desktop, and I read that some PCI soundcards can help with the audio processing, so I was wondering if I could help performance by any, if at all, if I installed a PCI soundcard to take some of the load off of the CPU when dealing with audio.
Would this help at all? Even by a little? And if so, any recommendations? I only need 2.0 stereo, nothing fancy.
