Which sound card?

I am setting my Cyrix P166+ up for some serious GP2 racing. My current Turtle Beach Multisound card is not supported, so out it goes... What is a good replacement? Is it satisfactory to hook up a Thrustmaster T2 to the game port on a sound card, or should I expect to pay for a separate card? Keith.

Avoid 'SoundBlaster compatible' cards as they often give you grief when they won't work with a particular game. As the first thing I do in any game is turn off the music I don't need a fancy card. Let's face it : the music in 99% of games sucks. Does Schuey listen to tunes as he drives ?? I have been using a Thrustmaster T1 (predecessor of the T2, just a different case) off the SB16 with absolutely no problems at all.
