General Comments

Afer getting tired of the n-forces built in sound chip (this is a deluxe board) I wanted to try something different, so I read reviews on the web and decided on the fortissimo III. Now after being used to surround sound from a home stereo, and not some under powered pc speekers I grew kind of spoiled by the ease of use on the n-force board, just plug it in to your stereo and off you go, so I wanted somehting similar. I had the gamer audigy in my computer but it's lack of connectivity problems and it's lack of performance for the price forced me to use the n- force sound, and this is where the fortissimo comes in. As I said earlier this board has built in optical port so you don't have to dig around for cables that don't exist(audigy anyone, thanks for lying creative!!) and you can plug this sucker right in to your home stereo. The sound is actually a little better than the audigy's and comes through loud and clear on a decent set of speakers, and for those of you with cheap speakers stick with the audigy, It'll sound better although the audigy still seems a little cleaner audio wise and it's highs a little higher than the fortissimo III, but I can live with that for 50 american dollars compared to the 130 I spent on the audigy.
