    Hey guys im gonna be recieving my inspiron e1705 and good god am i excited, but i dont want to be stuck with that crummy sound blaster audigy software edition shindig, or the norm integrated audio. so i was thinking of getting this...

    however i dont know if the e1705 will support the thing, because i have no idea what a Type II CardBus slot (PCMCIA slot) is. does the e1705 have one of these slots?

    thanks guys, and GAH GAH ( gamer at heart ) to all my fellow gamers out there

    :cool:

    I believe that the e1705 does not ship with a PCMCIA slot, which this card requires. The e1705 only comes with ExpressCard. Sorry.

    You would need to find a USB solution until an ExpressCard version of a decent sound card enters the market
