I recently acquired an Audigy SB0090. It's my first ever Audigy and I'm trying to decide where best to use it. Here are my options:
1) in one of my two Win98 retro PCs. One is a P2-400/Voodoo3 2000 PCI, the other a P3-933/FX5200. The downside with either of these is these are my least-used systems. I spend most of my time on XP and DOS.
2) my XP gaming system. It currently has a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz, which I'm absolutely in love with. It has (to my ear) the most impressive MIDI emulation between it and the SB Live!
3) my son's Win10 i5. It has the Realtek ALC1150 audio codec integrated with a claimed 115dB SNR.
Honestly, my son's rig would make the most use of it, but I'm not sure if it would be a downgrade to his integrated audio. Thoughts?
The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know.
