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 7.1 is a stunning card and is highly recommended, it does all this:
EAX 4
Dolby Digital EX
DTS (version 2? EX? can't remember)
DVD-Audio (24 bit)
It comes with ports for everything too, like Firewire etc...also, a full version of FL Studio, Cubasis and some games!
Some people think that the onboard AC97 sound will do but once you've heard the sound quality through a decent card like this, you'll never go back.
I'm currently waiting for my delivery of the Gigaworks 7.1 speakers from OCUK which match the card perfectly and connect with a single digital cable:

Ultra realism for games and movies!!!
EDIT: Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that you can remotely control your PC in the style of a XP Media Centre PC too.
