But she was only four years old! (sob)

Oh well. Any recommendations for a consumer-grade card?
My needs are modest:

- a place to attach the cable from my CD-ROM
- Quake3 can open it using mmap
- headphone output sounds tolerably decent
- hopefully will last another 4 years or so :)

For everything else I use a Delta 66.
