i just got a new system all hooked up, but i dont want to use the onboard sound (p4p800-deluxe, i get some distortion sometimes, but thats probably because i changed mobo/cpu and chipset and didnt format, i just ran a sysprep for windows)
in any case, here are my options, and prices (in cdn dollars)
creative audigy2 (oem): $95
creative audigy2 zs (retail): $115
hercules game surround fortissimo 3 7.1 (retail): $85
hercules digifire 7.1 8 chan (retail): $119
m-audio revolution 7.1 (retail): $140
what im going to be using it for:
-gaming, and lots of it (bf1942+dc / cod / fifa,madden,nhl / etc...)
-music (mp3's mostly, i wont be sampling anything)
thats pretty much it, make the choice depending on sound quality/price ratio, disregard any firewire/usb or other hookups and/or front panels (i dont need those)
thanks.
