Sound card - pretty much anything if you just want to get pings and
chimes when you get new emails.

If you want higher quality go for a USB external sound card such as
Creative Extigy. This keeps sensitive audio circuits away from
electrically "noisy" PC hardware.


Myth. An internal card can be fine. The Extigy is rather
cheap-and-nasty though. Creative cards are generally considered just
off the bottom of the scale for serious audio use. Get the ubiquitous
(and cheaper than an Audigy :-) M-Audio 2496 pci card. (God - I get
tired of typing that advice. But it's still good :-)
