and the s/pdif ones are ports which provide high quality digital in and output (to connect your speakers, etcetera to the motherboard) you'll need an optical audio cable to use those ports (like this one for example: belkin cable)

i could have type that better looking at it again S/PDIF passes the sound to the amp to proccess rather than having the sound card proccess it freeing more of the system , you will notice it if you play 1080p stuff and your card is proccessing the sound as for links no sorry but this is the first link in google http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPDIF_________________

many thanks for your answers ....... i think that connectionis for professionals / geeks
im sure most modern computers are able to fully handle sound card and will deliver a good enough audio for me .................. interesting tho
same saying as ever tho ... the more you learn just makes you realise there is so much more to learn
