SB Live! vs. Audigy
Is there any real difference? I'm thinking of getting Live! 5.1 Digital for 5 bucks.. Or should I look for Audigy? Is there any (real) difference? These cards aren't too popular in my area.

Re: SB Live! vs. Audigy
Yes, the Audigy has a larger more powerful DSP which allows for better sound manipulation. Depending on the Live! card in comparison the Audigy may have better quality sound because of improved input and output circuitry, some of the later non OEM live cards also had these upgrades where as a "Dell, or Gateway" branded version may not.....
Best to go with an Audigy if possible if you are doing any kind of recording or music production. If you are not doing music production, the live! cards are decent cards, and some have the same sound quality.
