Which 7.1 surround card to replace my gametheatre xp in Vista64?

As post title,

I am at a loss to which card to buy to replace my Hercules Gametheatre XP 7.1 sound card. It has Vista32 drivers but after speaking to their support centre I know they will not be creating Vista64 drivers.

So where to jump too?

Ideally needs to be a good card that will immerse me in good quality sound in games. £150 budget.

Any suggestions welcome!

Thanks

might be worth waiting a month or so for the new azuntech prelude, High quality audio +xfi included, can pre-order it on overclockers atm

An x-fi creative and you cant go far wrong, but ive heard their vista drivers leave rather a large amount to be desired, hopefully they'll be on top of this soon though.
