From what I've been reading lately it seems onboard sound manufacturers have kept adding more &more features without really decreasing the cpu hit.But having said that ,they have been squeezing alot more features into that same percentage load!

I never really like or used any onboard; I prefer PCI cards so my games run as fast as they can.

I would have agreed with you on this a few years back but ever since Nvidia's on board sound solution, I think there's hardly any performance hit noticeble from using on board solutions.

Well, even on dedicated sound boards, you may still get performance hits, such as using those EAX features.
