Good sound card?

AMDX23800+ · 24 Jun 2006 at 12:40

Hi,
Can someone help me choose a sound card please?
I need a very good sound card for gaming + loud music but not TOO expensive.
Is the top one here any good? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Creative_Sound_Cards.html
Thanks for help in advance

What is your max budget, expensive for some may be £200 whereas for others it may be £50?

Oc uk have added OEM version of that soundcard. I requested it!

Around the same price as the one above.
I am willing to pay around £50-£100

Thanks

Any suggestions?

How about a X-Fi Xtreme Music OEM for games, and a M-Audio 2496 for music? About £110 for both.

Would the X-Fi Xtreme be any good for music as well ?

Cool, i might just go for the X-Fi OEM (cheaper) and get 2gb good ram with it

Thanks for the suggestions

One more thing, does the X-Fi card support front panel audio so i can connect the front panel sockets(on my case) to the card?
Thanks
