I used to love sound blasters up to my Audigy 2 gamer when someone told me The Realtek audio that comes with mobos are just as good , is there much of a difference? worth the $ to buy one?

I had a Soundblaster X-fi in my last build. I tried the onboard audio on my new Z77 board (Realtek ALC898) and couldn't tell the difference (though I'm not an audiophile), so I'm using that instead.

Depends on the speakers/headphones. Most soundcards are a step up, and with quality equipment, theres a MASSIVE difference. [My Audio-Technica ATH-M50's are horrid using onboard].

That being said, Creative hasn't been top of the line quality for some time now. ASUS, HT Omega, and Auzentech are where to go for soundcards these days.
