I currently have an HP zd7000 notebook, and a 2.1 audio setup. I just have a couple questions:
1) Would it be worth upgrading the sound card up from the internal in the lappy (I.E. USB sound card)?
2) What is the best external sound card for the money? There was a really nice one i like reviewed at tomshardware, but evidently, its only sold in Europe.
3) Should I stick w/ a 2.1 setup, or get a 5.1 setup? If a 2.1, then would it be worth upgrading the sound card?
4) What are your recommendations for speakers? As for 2.1, theres a nice set being sold by DreamTwister (http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=822461) that he might part out from his PowerMac. For a 5.1, ive been looking at the Logitech X-530 or Logitech Z-640. With a 5.1 I'd need to buy a new external USB sound card.
