the chipset we are talking about implements the PCI bus
controller and a few other things. The ESS chipset you are referring to is
the CODEC for the sound system. A poor quality sound system will also - so
many believe - decrease performance as in responsiveness, and also accuracy
for most if not all voice recognition systems.
Cheers Paul.

On my system, the device drivers bear the name of the chipset. Go to
Control Panel( start menu-> settings-> control panel), open
multimedia, choose the audio tab. Under "Preferred Device", what I
see is "ESS audio playback device" and "ESS audio record device".
This means I have the (gasp) dreaded ESS chipset.

The ess chipset is reportedly noisy. Using my new TalkMic, in the
audio setup wizard's F1 screen, I get an adequate signal to noise
ratio, but the noise part of the signal is much higher than was
recommended in earlier discussion on this list. I forget the exact
figures.
My recognition isn't terrible, but it isn't great either. Dictating
the last paragraph, I got enough errors to drive me nuts.
If you have the option, pick a chipset recommended on this list. If
your stock with a particular chipset, as I am, a good microphone
certainly helped me.
