Realtek AC97 equivalent

[loltim]

I'm just after a sound card that's as good as my current AC97 on the Asus P5K, experiencing an incompatability with CoD2.

I was thinking Audigy2 ZS? seem to be pretty cheap now.

Equivalent of onboard ??

Erm, just pick out anythign in the £1.99 special offers mate!

In otherwords, anythign is either the equivalent of, or superior to onboard junk.

The Audigy 2 ZS is leagues ahead of it in every way possible.

not true at all

Ok, maybe slight exaggerations there on my behalf, but generally speaking ( And this does include the P5K ) Onboard Audio is simply not all that good when compared to any half decent SoundCard.

Basically, getting an A2ZS instead of the OnBoard on the P5K is going to be a massive jump that anyone with good speakers will notice.
