Hi folks, OK my new system is running well, is stable etc but the onboard sound is somewhat lacking. I wanted to get the thing running properly first before adding the sound card.

As well as AH & general gaming i need it to be able to do some music recording so i've been looking at a couple of options and i thought i'd throw them out here for your opinions

Option 1

Soundblaster audigy2 zs platinum pro

option 2

Yamaha SW1000XG

or is there an option 3 ?

what do you think ?

I have the santa cruz also and i love it. have my 5.1 surround hooked up but run headset mostly. great card for a good price.

Thanks fellas, i've been looking around and asking questions and settled on the audigy, it's breakout IO box and wavetable sound is a major advantage.
