So I'm considering slapping a second PCI sound card in my Pentium 3 build, and I was thinking of the possibility of EMI that might affect the AWE64 Gold I have currently installed.

Has anyone bothered to incorporate EMI shielding on their expansion cards? Is it even worth it?

Unless if you have a really high end audio setup and picky ears your probably not noticed a thing.
