Hello all, I wonder if anyone here can help me at all? I would like to know my best option or what options I have with the equipment I have currently. Currently I have a standard Sound Blaster Live! Value card, 2X DVD ROM drive, Dxr2 MPEG2 card and the Desktop Theater 5.1 speakers. I am currently upgrading my computer and want to have the best quality and sound that I can achieve. I have purchased a GeForce 2 GTS and what to run my DVD's through the GeForce card, but I also want to keep the Dolby Digital 5.1 sound output. Is there a way to run the Dolby Digital sound through the Dxr2 card and have the video output through the GeForce card? If not what would be my alternate option? To purchase a new Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 card and new SoundWorks DT3500 speaker system? As I would like to get the sharp high quality of the DVD on the GeForce, and still keep the crystal clear Dolby Digital 5.1 sound of the DVD on the Desktop Theater 5.1 and Sound Blaster Live! Value card. Or would another option be to purchase a seperate Dxr3 card? Is the quality of the Dxr3 better than the quality of the GeForce card? What would you say my best options are? My best option would be to play the video through the GeForce card and the sound through the Dxr2 card. Also what software would I use? I was thinking WinDVD if I was going to be playing the video through my GeForce card. Thanks, Lee
