    As the title says it all: I would like to buy a external sound card which uses Expresscard interface.

    I searched Newegg, Circuit City and Best Buy. Didn't find any or I didn't search well.

    Do you know a good sound card?

    The Creative X-Fi uses ExpressCard. Should be on NewEgg.

    make sure you buy the right one depending on the slot you have on your notebook. There are 2 types 34mm and 54mm. The 34mm will work on both, not the otherway around.

    Also Creative has the USB X-MOD with X-Fi Crystalizer and 3D Sound. Works great for me. Its just a hassle to carry that around.

    From what I know, Vostro 1500 has the 54mm slot. That's the idea of using an Expresscard sound card. I don't want to carry a USB sound card around all the time.
