my experience with specifications of integrated sound devices is, that specificated values are only on paper. My "great" integrated soundcard is specificated better than my old soundblaster but in real if you will play some song in winamp and use headphones, soundblaster makes 5x better sound. I never heard sound from integrated soundcard that can be compared with creative soundcard

u r prety wrong man, m-audio is a profesional sound source, they making devices for recording studios. Sound blaster carts were always low segment products creative have deferent line of producs high segment that are called EMU
http://www.m-audio.com/index.php?do=products.family
http://www.emu.com/products/ (meybe its hard to belive but is the same company as making sound blaster) well they discowered ppl gaming on thier presious machines dont relay care so much about sound quality, and thier strategy maked them fload whole market by low segment devices named SoundBlaster
--------------------------------------------
about a choice u asked here m8, well is not so obvious choice as some might sugested, filtering will be beter on SB and propably on yors itegrated ss. u will have more details but also not fully clear sound
i am using audigy 2 and i am not satysfied in some maters if comes to sound, yeah sound is good but on beter ss. iven some integrated i heard prety much more details
if u rely care about sound u can try out m-audio, emu, terratec, audiotrack, esi
well meybe look at:
if u want surround sound check out prodigy 7.1LT or maya 7.1 from audiotrack
or esi juli@
meybe esi maya44 ? its not suround ss enyway well i do pie on suround 
kep in mind i am use beyerdynamic 770 PRO on mine pc not eny cheap surround speakers or pc headphones

yep have to agree EMU soundcards rock...
@psultan onboard always sounds thin and nasty no mater how they dress it up. so just to agree with all here, use the soundblaster, infact any soundblaster for that matter:)..or did beast already say that

Onboard sucks. I've been using SB Live Platinum 5.1 forever now, there's no going back (especially since I'm in music composition/production anyway)...
but I'm stuck with onboard graphics still. Big sad face for onboard anything.

Heh, as I've been going deep with this dilema most friends said same!!
But does this mean anythin?
About Intel HD:
Hardware based on Intel HD Audio specifications is capable of
delivering 192 kHz/32 bit quality for two and 96 kHz/32 bit for up to eight channels.
About SB EMU10K1:
Musicians, content developers and others .. voiced their disappointment at the loss of resolution and sound detail when converting to 48kHz for internal processing.
(Of course this is the only negative thing I've read about emu10k1, and other of it specs are quite impressive)
