Thanks. It's not that I necessarily believe the sound card companies, but sometimes I read reviews about how a sound card improves performance because it does its own processing, etc. Maybe I shouldn't trust those people either.

Btw, my expected plans are the new E8400, a single 8800GT, 2GB RAM, X38 board. Not exactly high-powered, but still quite nice.
