If I knew what "***all" meant, I might be able to help :)

As for the sound card, the SBLive! X-Gamer is the better buy.

The X-Gamer, MP3 and Platinum are all the exact same card and software.

The Platinum differes only in that it comes with LiveDrive standard.

The X-Gamer has a very good game package that is worth more than the $90 you
pay for the card :)

It's a technical term you see.
It comes somewhere between "sodall" and
"sweetFA,goddamnedpieceofshitcomputer", so I'm told....
