    ac97 codec on a new intel 925x mobo?

    I have a dell 8400. The mobo is based on the intel 925x however but the integrated sound comes up as ac97. Isn't that the old 5.1 channel integrated and not the new intel hd sound? I poked around the mobo and I see a chip marked ADI1980 if that helps.

    EEEEK my new dell is here, help!

    Here are some of my conclusions so far from my dell experience. Dell = Proprietary However this is not necessarly a bad thing. It does mean I am forced to used dell drivers which is bad considering I am limited to dell updating drivers. The good news though is that the drivers do work.
