I'm looking at both these sound cards:
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy2 ZS SB0350 7.1 Channels PCI Interface Sound Card
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16829102178
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic 7.1 Channels PCI Interface Sound Card
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16829102188
however the price difference between the two is like $60. I'm not an "audiophile", as many here put it, but i do appreciate good quality. I have some decent harman/kardon speakers and Sony headphones(http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002SQ3Z6) which i wont be changing. is the audigy2 good enough for me? Does it support surround sound with my speakerphones? I might go into some music and video editing and play a few games but nothing like a pro. plz need quick help!
