I have been putting together a new machine and the motherboard I bought has 8 channels onboard sound. I just wondered would it be worth it to put a sound card in it? Will I notice a increase in performance and sound quality with a sound card?

I have been looking at them and noticed lot of sound cards only have 4 connections on the back. I have one in the machine I am using now and it has 7 connections which is a couple years old. Why do the newer ones have less?
