Hi all;
I have PowerMac G5 dual 2.0
http://support.apple.com/specs/powermac/Power_Mac_G5_Early_2005.html
I got logitech X-530 5.1 speakers and I intend to use them in "full
power" ;-)). I wonder what audio card you guys recommend? Easy to get,
64 bit PCI, something from PC world if possible. I just use it for WOW,
movies.... nothing professional.
Best Regards

If you go PCI you will be sad, especially for casual use. Get any
decent Firewire or USB device that provides the output device. The
usual suspects are easily found via Google.
