Hi Susan:

I am not familiar with ~that particular~ PB setup, but it sounds like
you'll have to consider sound solutions also.  Unless, of course, you
get something with sound included when you replace.  Is this enabled in
the BIOS like the old on-board PB, Radio Shack, etc. proprietary stuff?
You called it a card; is it a true card or built into the motherboard?
If it physically remains in the system, you will cause yourself a big
supporrt headache if you don't ensure that it's not "seen" by any
install program or user.
