You're right, and if I were just fixing my existing system I would buy expansion cards - though the motherboard I have doesn't have that many slots, so getting both a video card and a sound card onto it is only just possible. But I'm actually relocating countries, so I'll be buying a new system completely. And again, I prefer a motherboard solution as it allows for a smaller case. Danny.
