Whether you can do this at all depends on your hardware & sound drivers
- for instance the MS ones (that came with Win2k) could only do Stereo
(two speakers) with SBLive cards, but the Creative ones would do what
you are describing (extra stereo output for rear speakers instead on
line-in).

Check the motherboard manual for your Intel motherboard, and then check
whether there are some specific (XP compatible) motherboard/chipset
drivers you should install.

Line in is for *input* from a HiFi, tape recorder or whatever, not for
output so there is no point whatever in trying to connect speakers to
it. Your old board will have had a socket for *speakers* and one for
*Line out* which you used for the other speakers. You will need an
external amp (or at least a splitter) to use more than two speakers
usefully

Not necessarily . .many boards now multiplex the 3 sockets at the back
(my nForce2 8RDA+ does it on the motherboard) so you can have =either=
line in =or= another (rear channel) stereo output .. if you want both,
you need to wire a separate back/front-plate. But to do that, you also
need the right drivers.
