sound card swap...is it possible?

[zoroff]

My old Dell computer came with an installed sound card, would I be able to install it on this new system I built or does it all depend on the mother board?
I would hate to see something that I could possibly use go to waste...

More than likely you can install a pci sound card what is the model of your pc?

Yes unless its an ISA card lol.

The old system was a Dell Dimension 3000. This one is a built rig with an Asus 790 evo MB

I just Googled the system and it says that it has an AC97 so the card must be after market. Id say that its 99% guaranteed that it will work.

cool thanks! So would I need to install any drivers for it or is it just plug and go?

If you're running Win7 it should automatically download drivers
