Audio Excel-Theater Excel-$19 USD
Hercules Fortissimo I & II-$45 USD
Hercules Game Theater XP- $110 USD
Turtle Beach Santa Cruz- $75 USD
Terratec DMX XFire 1024-$58 USD
Philips Acoustic Edge - $??
M-Audio Audiophile 24/96 - $??(Highly recommended for Audio Freaks)
Any C-Media 8738 based sound card has given great results whether it’s built-in to the motherboard or a PCI card. They also pass both DTS and DD without issue. Here are a few cards-
AudioExcel MD-Mate - $??
Yamaha X-Wave 7000 Pro - $??
Zoltrix Nightingale Pro 6 - $40 USD
Philips Acoustic Edge is reported to work very well in VIA motherboards as well. It’s advised the sound card be installed to the farthest PCI slot from the CPU.
Note: Creative cards are purposely not listed above due to the numerous hardware/software issues on most of the models. Issues range from bad drivers, jitter, SNR to out of voltage specifications which could damage your external amp. The intent was to show cost effective sound cards which are easy to configure for multi-channel and SPDIF playback.
Info i was using for reference the other day might help

check out the 3rd paragraph here...
Sonic Fury
... it reckons the Sonic Fury is the same hardware as the Turtle Beach Santa Cruz, which you can get from:
www.vgicomputers.com £50.00
www.Overclock.co.uk £50.29
www.Overclockers.co.uk £53.35
Oh, note that these are OEM cards, which means they won't come with all the goodies in the retail pack like manuals and software (also possibly not including a cable to link the card to your CD-ROM). If this bothers you, the first two of the "where to buy" links also stock the retail packs for this card which will include all the gubbins.
I have to say that I am running with an Audigy at the moment with no probs - I used to own one of the notorious SB!Live cards (unfortunately partnered with an early KT133 Via chipset) though, so can understand your reluctance to go with Creative again !!!! When I spoke to Creative's tech support about the problems with the SB!Live, I passed on tons of helpful troubleshooting results and solutions to improve the situation but they basically just didn't want to know. Not very impressed with them.

Yes all 4 run linux personally i wouldn't touch a windows server, IIS more like LOL.Originally posted by badbunny
I'd been meaning to ask, are the SM servers running Linux ?
I have used both 2k and nt server b4 but for webservers i just find Linux + apache far more stable the up time is better as well
