I have a pretty decent stock sound card but it's getting old. I got random distortions that bothered me. Considering the price I decided to give it a try. MY GOD! Maybe I'm imagining it, but I think I can hear the guitarist's fingers stroking the strings. The sound quality is incredible. And I didn't notice any difference in my CPU or RAM performance. Highly recommended. (If you're interested, I'm using the 3.5mm jack, not the RCA connectors)
