and if I buy those two should I just buy SoundBlaster Audigy2 ZS Platinum Pro 7.1 surround sound, Dolby Digital ® EX Retail? |
The ZS is a 7.1 card, THX certified (apparently) but still uses the original EMU chip so you really wouldn't notice much improvement in sound etc. The NX is an external USB sound card, avoid it, it'll use a lot of CPU cycles. I'd recommend the ZS Platinum Pro, both me and Richard have one, the breakout box is VERY handy, midi ports, mic in, headphone jack, optical in and out, Firewire and a remote control. Oh, and CMSS is far better on the ZS no matter which flavour you choose.
