well a good motherboard nowadays will have a 7.1 sound with it. I have the Audigy Platinum and it's cool to have. Its just a lil bit of extra hardware with more outputs and all software. Like when I use diff bitrate mp3's I still record them to be at the same lvl and sound of each other. So in the end its all abotu a few xtra hardware functions and software applications.
Hope that helps
