There _is_ no such thing as a 32 bit soundcard. The difference between
SB16 and 32 is that the 32 has way better midi sound, since it uses
sampled real instruments instead of an FM synthesizer.

BTW, does anyone have information about daughterboards for the SB16?
I'm thinking of upgrading, but I only know about Creative's own
Waveblaster II (which costs almost as a SB32).
