No, that is really outdated. Look at the X-fi from creative.

I have this one and I like it, price was reasonable:

the x-fi's and the audigy's are going to perform exactly the same for games.

i've never even seen any games that can use the x-ram yet, and both support EAX surround.

how about?? Creative Blaster Audigy 2 ZS 7.1 THX Sound Card ???

oh and does there sound cards need any extra cables?? like when i buy the ATI X generation cards.. i didn't know it needed an extra power cable. so i hope sound cards don't require any extra cables..
