Soundcard ? What to buy....

[Chissler]

Hello guys! I need a recommendation to a decent Soundcard guide, or just some buying advice. I want to buy two soundcards for me and my wife's gaming rig. The onboard soundcard ( Soundmax ) just keep giving us problems, and now I want to buy a standalone card.

The thing is that I do not need anything really fancy, considering that I just use the rig's for gaming. That being said, I do want it to be good enough to give me that little extra edge when playing a new game.

I also want it to be easy to get hold of new drivers.

Can any of you wizards help me ?

I think the new SB Titanium looks good. Even read reports of good Vista drivers.

Just stay away from creative in my opinion. But something maybe 5.1 at least or better. Also, keep in mind, good speakers will probably make a world of difference.
