I'm new to this subject, so please excuse the simplicity of the question.
A variety of computer games support a sound card, which I assume generates
audio signals (stereo?) for an external audio system.  I've recently seen
an AdLib (sp?) music synthesizer card advertised for $149.  

1. Is this AdLib music synthesizer card the same as the game support card?
2. Is the AdLib game support card the best?  
3. Who makes the AdLib card?
4. Where is a good place to mail order it?  I've never seen it advertised.
   (Perhaps I read the wrong periodicals.)
Many thanks.
