It all depends on what you want...if you have 5.1...with and optical in on your theater system and optical out on your computer then go with the 5.1 onboard if not ...if you have a 2.1 computer speakers thing say from creative or logitech etc...go with the audigy.
Persoanlly i would go with 5.1 experience that in games you know what i mean.
That all in your preference...go with what you like...why don't you try both and see what YOU perfer.:cheers:- Damien

I was also wondering if I should get a sound card for my new comp.
Although I'm not too big on sound systems (I have a 2.1 Creative). And I have 6 Channel software audio codec ADI S/W 5.1 channel audio on board sound.....so is there much point in geting a sound card? even a cheap one?
I also heard a card can improve performance as it takes some heat off the motherboard.
Thx in advance~
