Sound Card recommendations

[elxr06]

Hi,
The sound card I use now is using the Realtek AC'97 codec drivers and Windows Vista Home Basic is the O.S.

If I were now to upgrade to HD audio, what sound card should I get that supports HD audio, and would anybody recommend this upgrade?

I'd like to know the some best options, although $100 or less is what I prefer.

This one might be the best one around that budget

Only if you need to use like all the ports. It is a good card.
