Normally add-on cards are better than on-board. They usually have better frequency capabilities[bass/mid/treble](clearer sound), and it can improve overall system performance. Sound Blaster Z is OK for the price. Imo it's better than the Audigy FX. It has more features, like Voice modifcation through your microphone (CrystalVoice FX) which can make you sound like a munchkin, or Female to Male / Male to Female, etc. And other Special features. If u don't wanna spend a load of $$$ on just a sound upgrade, go with the Z.

Just make sure to get the correct interface (such as PCI Express x1 slot), unless you have an older motherboard then it's just a PCI slot. There are also External Audio add-ons for the USB port. I wouldn't buy an Audigy FX. It's based on a Realtek codec + Creative software which ain't any better than the integrated sound in your motherboard. Hence why it is so cheap. It has no Creative hardware at all.

From my experience, most sound cards from Creative sound way better than the integrated sound (not the Audigy FX, which has no Creative hardware). I used to have an original Audigy replaced then by an Audigy X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Pro that I regret selling so much. Currently, I have an Audigy 5/RX which has actual Creative hardware on it (unlike the FX version) and it is a world of a difference from the Realtek ALC1150 integrated sound codec that my motherboard has. From starters no more interference. It has hardware 7.1 support. Then there is the impressive cristal clear sound when using its ASIO drivers.

Even if you don't use or need ASIO, the sound is more natural, warmer and rich than with the integrated sound. Seriously, my Bose headphones have never sounded so good until I got the Audigy 5/RX. Also, thanks to Alchemy, I can use EAX on some old games I still play like Medieval II Total War, STALKER and The Witcher 1. I like the hardware EAX of my card, unlike some other software emulatad alternatives from Asus, Realtek and even Creative themselves.

Just $58.99 from Amazon: Of course, if you want more and newer features and you are willing to spend more, then you are better off going with any card from the Sound Blaster Z series, or even better, with the new Sound BlasterX AE-5. Just my 2 cents.
