Ok smitty - if the xfi is no good which would you recommend, these are the cards my local shop sells:

 CREATIVE X-FI XTREME AUDIO 7.1 OEM

[heartsfan]

Just found this

This was the card I was going to get ..... not now!!

X-Fi Xtreme Audio
The entry-level model of the X-Fi series, the Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio, does not actually have the EMU20K1 chip but is a re-branded Audigy SE, using the same family of chips (CA0106-WBTLF), and even the same drivers. Thus, not only is all of the X-Fi

I cant find stuff about this Motherboard in my net. shops so i think this Motherboard is a bit outdated-just so you know.Power supplie TT 650watt should be enough i have myself TT but 750watt and im very pleased.
If you buy this Motherboard im 100% sure you cant use Quadd in the future
Hearts you the BOSS here. say that this motherboard is outdated and you want one based on P35 and if its Asus you go for then most pop. is P5 just be careful coz some of those supports just CoreDuo.

I have myself ASUS-P5KC this one is a bit more expensive so i dont say you have to buy it.Just remember you build here PC you should use i guess in couple more yrs ?
So be smart as much your wife let you to be coz belive me you dont want to waste the money on some outadet specs.

I did buy parts to one PC i did build back in 2006 and i just wasted about 1000$
and i had so many problems to get to work this pice of shit that i could write a book about it

This i had:AM2 MSI K9N SLI Platinum,Nvidia 7900GT 256mb,FSP 600watt,CPU 4600+,XFI-music (+++)
I had my PC in service over 1 month and they couldnt find any mistake in the end they just said that CPU is broked.they was wrong,coz i tok my CPU to my brother PC and is was working so great he didnt want to give it to me back

There is much more but i dont write to much,just learn from my mistakes.
