As a corrolary, how about a high quality 2-speaker audio card?
I just don't have the space for a woofer.  (I don't see where
CL sells the SB Live! and Value anymore.  The lowest on the
scale are the "16 PCI" and the "PCI 512".  With the PCI 512,
how much would I lose by playing MP3s and watching movies in 
2-channel mode?

Also, the computer is ~10 feet from the KB & monitor.  Can I
find an "extension cord" at, for ex., Radio Shack?  Or will the
distance degrade the sound?

Thanks
