True, I experience more sound glitch then video glitch.

Could it be partly solved by putting a better sound board?

Probably not.  Your graphics card is good enough, it's your CPU that will slow you down.

I hear people saying that, and then I see better performance once I use a  better video card. I'm not sure what the correlation is, if some video cards use less CPU resources somehow but it definitely can make a difference.

I've had video cards that wouldn't display the proper resolutions or wouldn't display vertical. I've also had video cards which made the games run slower.

I use Donkey Kong, Galaga 88 and Rayforce as test games. If they have no sound hiccups, the machine is fast enough for my taste.
