Owmen,

1. Is it a soundcard, or an integrated sound chip on your motherboard. A quick look at the back will tell you............are the sockets on the same row as the printer, serial and game sockets, or are they taking up one of the expansion slots?

2. That is an oldish machine, the card may not be supported by XP, this is not uncommon with old video, sound cards and modems.

3. Do you really want to do it? Microsoft says http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/p...on/sysreqs.asp

So you have the very minimum of RAM and should expect to lose functionality. Adding another resource requirement is not a good idea? Your first priority must be to increase the RAM. As a lot of people have upgraded their RAM there are a lot of second hand 64 and 128 MB strips around.......the software that Zonewalker mentioned (Belarc Advisor) will tell you what sort you have............it is important to use identical specifications.........PC100/PC133 and CL2, 2.5, or 3 (that's the "clock latency") You want at least 128Mb, with 256Mb being a lot better.

If it were my machine I would load Win98SE or Linux, until I had enough memory to support XP properly. I guess I would go for 98SE if I wanted the machine for gaming.

What make and model is the computer?..........or is it custom built?

Cheers
