Does anyone know the diffrence between on-board sound cards and PCI sound cards (especially the Creative Audigy 2 ZS) in terms of the amount of extra stress they put on the CPU?
Am I right in saying that a seperate PCI card uses less processing power and is therefore better when wanting to get the best out of games?
I know it will depend to some extent on the quality of the cards and motherboards in question, but as a general rule, what do people prefer/use?
I've posted a poll on this...but I'm more interested in people's comments than the vote
