Creative SB Audigy 2 all the way.

I take it over the onboard 6 channel audio for several reasons:

+Audigy comes with a firewire port.
+Onboard audio does not support EAX so you won't enjoy your games to the fullest.
+Onboard audio lacks environmental presets. This isn't a really strong reason but some ppl like myself do find the environmental sound cool.
+Onboard audio has only three jacks, so you must disable the Audio-In or Mic jack in order to plug the rear and center speakers. Audigy sound cards have a jack for every thing.
