This board uses the CM8738 sound chip. Vsyncmame supports it from dos directly. To have it work with AdvMame or Mame in native dos you have to get the sound.c and wss.c source code files from vsyncmame and recompile the source, which causes the fps to drop a little. Little bit of a hassle. Also, both DOS MP3 players I have tried w/ this chipset sound like sh*t. So no Jukebox. I recommend getting a MB w/ external audio. Or if you must have all-in-one, a lot of the intel reference MBs can be found w/ the Creative Labs ES13xx chipset which works fine in dos w/ emulation.

: I'm trying to save some money here guys, but need the CPU power to play all the games. I'm looking at an Asus A7S-VM w/ onboard AGP video and sb-16 compatible sound. Would this be able to handle everything pretty well if I dropped a Duron 800/850 in? I'm concerned about video compatibility and am wondering if the onboard video will be sufficient. I know folks have said in previous posts that video isn't too important so I want to check about onboard video as well.

: Thanks!
