sound cards and memory

[luke white]

Hi guys,I have a friend who is having problems with his computer,he was trying to play a certain game and was only getting 15 frame rates per second ,not enough to play a game properly,so I suggested uprating his graphics card to a 4870 1gb which is quite a powerful graphics card,any way upon installng this there was no improvement what so ever,tried all the different resoloutions to see if this would make any difference,none what so ever,so i thought there is a bottle neck somewhere,there was no sound card installed and was using onboard sound ,his motherboard is quite old,so installed my razer barracuda sound card with memory ,and WOW now I was getting 60 frame rates per second ,a massive improvement,so i have found why the computer is slow,it needs a sound card ,my question is which one,he has around £50 to spend ,does it have to have memory on the sound card,or would it be the same with no memory ,ie would the frame rates drop down a lot if the sound card has no memory,thanks for any suggestions and reading my post ,regards luke white
