Sound Card Gaming Performance

Hi, I currently run BF2142 through my top end system which is made up of the following

Pentium Duo Core 6600 2.4GHz x2
Geforce 7950 GT (512mb)
2GB of Fast RAM
ASUS P5N-E nForce 650i SLi (with on board sound)
22" Samsung Monitor
500W Power Supply


Question is, will the machine run better with a dedicated sound card. Will game frame rates be improved from the already very good. I do not have any problems just occasional jerkiness

If so, what would you recommend,

Cheers

Yeah the the frame rates will be improved...by 1-2fps. It's extremely minor you're better off savig the money for a new CPU or video card.
