Some of those cards look hardcore. Someone run me down on the advantages of those over integrated. i mean I have a fairly good integrated system but I have run into a couple problems with it occasionally, which were fixed by drivers. Will it free up a lot of CPU?
Right now I'm using SoundMAX integrated on my M2N going into JBL Creature II 2.1 speakers. They are really, really crisp but don't get LOUD or anything. If I wanted to do that, I could run a line out to my 50W tube powered MESA/Boogie with the 12" speaker, that can pretty much get loud enough to stir up whatever you had to eat earlier and completely annihilate your earbuds if you don't wear plugs.
