What PCI sound card do you guys recommend for my Athlon 1GHz PC? Is there a PCI card with OPL3 chip and joystick/midi port?

My retro builds

Thank you guys.

I got YMF724. The 744 and 754 have 4 sound channels instead of 2 and other features that I'm not interested in. They are also much more expensive than 724 on ebay currently.

The YMF7x4 cards have wavetable MIDI support in their Windows drivers. Not any help in pure DOS, but it works fine in DOS games in Windows 98 SE.
