I upgraded my computer to an ECS L7VMM2. When I went to plug in my electronic keyboard, I realized I didn't have a 15-pin place to attach it. What kind of card do I need to get?
Thanks!

Lacking as Ps2 port you will need to get a PS2 to USB connector to add to the end of your keyboard.

I can't connect my MIDI keyboard. Sorry I wasn't clear.
Thanks.

Is it on board sound? You may need to upgrade your sound card.

Most people connect their midi cables to a midi adapter that plugs into the game port of their sound card. Mine has midi in and out connectors in addition to a pass-through game port.

You might need to do a search to find that adapter cable.

Other solutions are also avaiable - like USB or serial midi adpaters. Or you can purchase a midi card that plugs into a PCI slot.

You will also need midi software to be able to access your keyboard from your PC. I use Cakewalk but others are available.

My SB Audigy 2 ZS Platinum (http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=29-102-163&depa=1) has MIDI in and out ports in the front 5 1/4 bay drive.
