Harman Kardon iSub no longer supported. Any compatible sub-woofers around?

Ah, pangs of new technology! If you're shopping for any third party device, make absolutely sure it will be supported by the Intel Core Duo. While the sound is solid from the internal speakers, I still would like a sub-woofer. None of the ads I've looked at specify Core Duo compatibility. Luckily, I'm holding on to my old iMac and Powerbook, which gleefully recognize my iSub.

Have you considered getting 2.1 speaker setup that you use instead of the internal speakers? You'll get a far better sound.
Look for ones that connect via mini-jack (that's basically 99.99% of all computer speakers), and they'll work without any need for software support.
In particular, the Hardmon Kardon SoundsSticks II look and sound great.
