You may have trouble having the two sound cards on your system.  If I
am correct, both system will more than likely try to request the same
addresses and IRQs, this will pose a problem since the computer won't
know which board to talk to.

Personally I have an AZZA mobo w/ onboard sound.  It is a PCI 64 I
believe.  On my system I have a PCI 512.  MUCH higher quality ... if
SB cards can have quality...  I have disabled the onboard sound and
have my PCI card as the sound card.
