Thanks for the input guys.  I haven't been very happy
with my soundcard under windows lately (weird noises
happen at the slightest hard drive activity). 
Although it works great in linux I still might
consider getting an isa soundcard.  I know I'll love
FreeBSD cause I already like linux.  From what I hear
FreeBSD is better than linux ;)
