PC sound cards

I want to take the sound card out of my win 98 pc and put it into my win xp pc as the one in my xp pc seems to have died and i am [!Expletive Deleted!] off with no sound now after at least 6 months of no noise except an annoying bleep when an email comes in.

What does a sound card look like? Is it an actual card or is it inbuilt onto something and non removeable?

paul_humphreys:
It depends on what motherboard you have? If its onboard sounf the speaker out put will be close to the mouse/keyboard/com ports. If its a sound card it will then be the other side of the video card.

Your talking to a pc idiot here!!!

So am I looking for a thing which looks like the memory I think it is that just pushes in?

both pc's have intel celeron insides if thats any help.

paul_humphreys:
Find where the speakers plug in, It its in a white slot, its a PCI sound card and can be moved. If its in a black slot its a ISA sound car, it can be moved but it might not fit in the new pc. If its not in a white or black slot it can not be moved as its on-board sound.

muddyjames:
could be onboard sound as where the speakers plug in it is right by a socket that looks like the monitor plug and i cant get to it. i have followed a wire from the internal speaker and that goes direct to mother board. Grr

how easy would it be to link up my pc to my dads as i have 2 network cards and a cable. would i be able to hear sound through his pc? and also how easy is it to upgrade a win 200pc to an xp one? will i loose everything on the win 200 pc?
