^^ it still has a game port!!??!! > Cheap : Audigy SE > (http://www.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=1&subcategory=205&pro > duct=14257) ^^ Too cheap Something in the middle perhaps Audigy 4 http://www.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=1&subcategory=205&product=14103&nav=1 That looks like a better card, includes SPDIF and an extra audio input. Also I can personally vouch for the quality of audio in audigy cards but not the xtrememusic cards, I've never heard one. Audigy is hellish quality, crystal clear and will probably out perform your CD player in quality. + It has its own remote, which might work with LIRC Maybe X-Fi is replacing the audigy range, I'm not sure. I'm sure that any and all Creative labs cards are better than your on board so I suppose it comes down to budget.
