Check out the Turtle Beach Santa Cruz, it's a great card and only $29 over at Newegg.

Thumbs up Tbsc!

I concur. I've had the Santa Cruz for nearly 4 years and it continues to run swell. It even has a (virtual) 5.1 setup

I recently bought an Audigy ES. It's only $12 more than the Turtle Beach and I couldn't be happier with it. The change from onboard sound was like night and day. It is an excellent card.
