M-Audio Revo NOT a good gaming card?

Personally i don't think Audigy2zs sound worse for music only, a tiny little bit, beucase revo is using their Pro recording soundcard's convertor, however lack of real hardware accelration for game audio drive, which will task you CPU's power and slow down the fram rate from 2~10FPS depens on games.
and the 3D positioning isn't as good as audigy2

get audigy2
you will notice a huge improvement if you had only use Mobo's onboard soundcard.

ASUS A7N8X, xp3200+ (217x10.5, 2.65v), 2xKINGSTON HYPERX PC3500 512MB(217mhz, at 2 3 3 7, 2.6v) segate 120g 8mb ATA100 segate 80g 2mb ATA100, Creamware pulsar2, ATI9800pro 128mb, audigy2zs

That would depend on what his board had. The nForce APU is top notch, bypassing analog conversion of Codecs by using the digital out, he might like the onboard BETTER than an Audigy2.
