| What! A couple of lousy frames? And for that pay tens of Euros? No way. ALC850 and ALC858 come for free with the motherboard and will do just as well. |

sound quality with the SB series is much higher then the onboard AL chips; not only does the SB sound better, it also takes away load from the CPU
