i just upgraded rigs, my old rig used a Audigy 2ZS platinum, i now run XFI gamer (~70 bucks at newegg). to be honest, i cant really tell the difference in sound between the two cards... but the game has always sounded great to me in 5.1 with my creative speakers. I think a creative card will be a step up from any MB audio, but i didnt find any change when i 'moved up' from audigy to the XFI. however, people rave about XFI?
ps. this thread may get better exposure in the main forum...

You are probably right about both, posting in the main forum and about EAX. Heres a link that describes my onboard soundcard. It supports all Dolby standards ,Dolby Pro, Dolby II etc,even DTS. The max it supports is eight channels at 192 kHz/32-bit quality
