    The big question is: does the new motherboard you are getting have onboard sound? For most gaming needs, the onboard audio on good motherboards is pretty freaking nice.

    I was thinking of getting a (Sapphire PURE Innovation Gruper Radeon Xpress 200P (Socket 939) PCI-Express Motherboard) that has got onboard sound!

    this is the link (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Sapphire.html)
    please tell me what you think?

    I think an Audigy 2 ZS is probably going to be a tad better than onboard sound which is normally just some sort of AC'97 software codec...

    The only gaming card better than the Audigy 2 ZS out now is the Creative HiFi-X.

    Creative Audigy it will take some load off your cpu and give you better sound :).
