Alright, so there's a LAN party coming up soon, and my friend will be using his uber computer for the first time out of the house at this one. Now, the only thing he's missing is a sound card. He's looking around the $50-$100 range, so what is out there that's worth that much for his system?
His rig: Athlon FX60 GeForce 7900 series GPU 2gb RAM -No sound card... yet- WinXP Home, SP2
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS - $74.99
That's about the best card i seen on newegg under $100. I have one and its a good card, music and games sound great though the drivers can be buggy at times.
I dobut that even needs that nice of a card:

It will work just as well as the ZS.
