:) I just checked a load of stuff out. It's definately a P5SD1-FM2 motherboard, which apparently has the Realtek ALC861 audio bit... Which according to the Realtek website can handle 7.1 surround sound. Is this correct?

Once again demonstrating my ignorance... If it can handle 7.1, is it backwards compatible with 5.1 or whatever? Thanks.

Yeah, should be fine then.

Buy the speakers and try setting it up.

If all goes well then sweet, if not buy a dedicated PCI sound card.

Awesome, all sorted then, thanks!

Could you recommend any good budget 5.1 speakers? I was looking at the Phillips MMS460... Any good?

Best advice I can offer is do a Google and read some reviews.
