If you are running Win98 or win-2000 then I would try Creative AWE64, Sound Blaster Live 5.1 , or Creative Audigy 2zs. These are PCI cards. If you only have an ISA slot then try the Creative AWE32.

I have an upgrade. Two 64mb RAM Sticks. One for each of my 380 laptops. In 1995 64mb in a laptop was Very Expensive and Unthinkable. Even in 1997 it was very expensive for a Desktop an NOT common. 8mb and 16mb of RAM was more common in computers before 1998.
