Need a nice gaming soundcard to go with Z-5500
I recently decided to take the plunge into 5.1 for my games and picked up a Logitech Z-5500 on sale at tiger direct. Now i feel like i want to upgrade my soundcard to get the most out of it. I have a few questions.
1) Will hooking it up with the optical audio connection be the best possible sound i can get out it or is the analog better?
2) How important is EAX with a 5.1 system for games?
Thanks.

2) You won't get 5.1 on most new games without it.
Keep in mind that many games won't give you 5.1 audio positioning unless your sound card supports EAX4 or better.
