I heard of something from VIA but I cant find any info on it. But can any P4-supporting motherboard match the nforce2 MCP-T for quality of integrated sound?

Unfortunatly not, Nforce MCP-2 is as good or better than an Audigy 2 card.

Nvidia made a press release recently reporting that they are making a MCP-2 PCI card.

No.. but someone correct me if I'm wrong.. I think the ASUS p4 board that has the best onborad sound.. the p4p-800

well i MOVED this topic from CPU's area to this sound are CAUSE there is another thread with the same info BUT I dont have mod of sound..so Ill place this here so one of the mods can kill the other one..Everyone has replied on this thread...and not the double one

That would be VIA's Envy24 sound chip. It's supposed to give you 7.1 sound and it actually sounds decent, now that VIA has released a set of drivers for it that will do more than stereo sound. However, the nForce sound is still better, IMO. I have both and the nForce sounds better through my Altec Lansing 4.1 setup.

it's not better then an audigy.. not really better then a live.. more compatible though

anyway.. see if you can find a p4 mobo with a CMI8738 on it
