At the moment I use the onboard sound of my motherboard which is called C-Media CMI8738. Basically it does the trick, but it can also hog the CPU and slow down my games, especially RavenShield. Therefore I thought I would buy a sound card, but I'm not sure which one.
My choices are:
1) sound blaster live 5.1
2) sound blaster audigy 1
3) sound blaster audigy 2
The live 5.1 is old but cheap, the audigy 2 is expensive but the best, and the audigy 1 is mid-priced/specced but I might be pissed off I didn't get the audigy 2 after a years use.
I really only want it for games, I dont care about music or watching dvd's, I have home theatre for that. So, which one do you think?
