Those were some good specs back in the day... And the price đŻ

I know modern audio purists probably still use them, but I completely forgot that sound cards were always an additional thing!
I'm rocking two soundblaster cards in my main rig

What do you use them for?
Listening to two sounds at the same time
Fuckin' A, man.
Big ballin there!
I had two so I could connect two joysticks at the same time
One is for my surround sound, the other for my headset. Lets me have immersive gaming while separating my voice chat easily. I bought the older card when it was new, and when I did major upgrades I bought the new one for the split audio.
I could use the onboard and just use one SB, but ime with onboard it's all trash configurations and half-baked features, so even though this board was $900 I immediately disabled it. I really like the features of the SB cards (and the SB X-Fi line I had before that) and figured the $150 to have something I was familiar with and I liked the audio produced by, so why even bother with anything else.
I vaguely remember the Soundblaster AWE64, too. I don't remember what I had in my 486, though.
I had the Gravis Ultrasound Max.
I had one of their joysticks at one point
