I am having trouble choosing between CREATIVE SOUNDBLASTER AUDIGY MP3+ and the Fortissimo III or Digi Fire sound card. I play alot of music through my pc but I don't do any mixing. I do play a lot of games as well as watch dvd's on my system. I am looking to get excellent sound quality out of my card and not wanting to spend a lot of money as well. I know the Creative has 24bit but I am not sure what the Fortissimo III or Digifire has. I was told the creative says 24bit but only has 16 like the Fortissimo and the Digifire. Any adive and clarity to help me choose is greatly appreciated. I have also heard about driver nightmares concerning the soundblaster. I run an AMD 1.2gig, 40gig HD, XP, 512DDR.
