    Hi guys my friend was recently playing operation flashpoint and was only getting 15 fps ,so i suggested he uprate his graphics card ,which he did to 4870 1gb version,still no joy exactly the same frame rates in all resolutions,so i presumed there was a bottle neck,there was no sound card and he was only using onboard sound,so installed my sound card a razer barracuda ,wow we had over 60 fps ,clearly this was the bottleneck,my question is ,he has £50 to spend,does it really matter that a sound card has onboard memory to keep these frame rates high,either way i would like to know what sound card is best to purchase with in this budget or must he spend more ,regards luke white
