I am on the verge of upgrading my motherboard and have opted for a board
which includes 'onboard sound'. The problem I have is:

# do I disable the onboard sound and stick with my original sound card
# do I ditch my original sound card and use the onboard one
# do I try to use the two together

Its the third question which I REALLY need feedback on. Not knowing much
about sound cards and their use, IS THERE A WAY TO USE 2 CARDS, and what
would be their use? I am a musician and am hoping to record music onto my
PC, would two cards be better than one for this
