The sound isn't bad. Just stereo, but if you'll be gaming much video would still be my first pick for an upgrade.
I remember now the northbridge ran hot. It's much happier with a small fan. You can easily attach one to the heatsink by driving screws down between the fins.

There are a vast number of people who are uninformed and heavily propagandized, but fundamentally decent. The propaganda that inundates them is effective when unchallenged, but much of it goes only skin deep. If they can be brought to raise questions and apply their decent instincts and basic intelligence, many people quickly escape the confines of the doctrinal system and are willing to do something to help others who are really suffering and oppressed." -Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media, p. 195
