I have a TB Santa Cruz 6 channels sound card and I just bought an Epox Ultra mobo with 8 channels onboard sound. Is it worth it to install the sound card or should I just leave the onboard sound enabled?

It's a good soundcard, but the 8 channel codec is probably good too. The soundcard might reduce your CPU load slightly, but the codec probably supports newer features. I'd go with the codec.
