    Anyone use up that slot? If so, what kind of cards are you using? I need some ideas.

    Invest in a Creative Sound Blaster Express card addon. As I have heard the plugs in the 5793 for headphones, 5.1 surround sound equipment, etc. are not the best.

    Just note that if you want surround sound from the Creative express cards, you need to purchase an additional dongle, which runs like 35 dollars if I remember correctly, the card itself has a headphone jack, a mic jack, and a proprietary one for the dongle.

    That sucks. My Audigy 2 ZS notebook card for PCMCIA came with the attachment for 5.1 sound.

    Creative is getting cheap aren't they? :p

    I use a TV tuner and an eSata card in my HP.
    So far, I haven't used it in my Clevo
