I currently use onboard Audio from my MOBO which is an ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe and the Onboard Audio is:Realtek ALC650.
It sounds pretty Good, but i want to make the jump to Audigy 2Zs.
Since the onboard sound sucks in some CPU power to it, If I buy the Audigy, will I notice a performance increase on my PC? or i wont be noticeable?

You might notice a little change but it isn't going to be leaps and bounds. I got a couple more fps in HL2 by going to a audigy 2zs plat, lol.

I think your dreaming to get 2 - 3 fps improvement. 2 or 3 percent of freed CPU utilization, yes, maybe even a 4% improvement.

And the sign says "You got to have a membership card to get inside" Huh
So I got me a pen and paper And I made up my own little sign</pre><p></font color=red>
