New Sound Card
I just bought this sound card off newegg because of the good reviews it received and the great price. I just wanted to know if I will see a noticeable improvement over my integrated sound on my MSI k8N Neo 4 Nforce4 Ultra
The card is this

I only use the sound on my PC for my Music and games, no editing or things like that. I also have these speakers.

With 2.1 speakers, I doubt you'll notice a difference.

C'mon. Don't be arogant and expect people to click on the links to see what sound card you are talking about when you could just have well typed the brand/model of it. All you are doing is providing free advertising to newegg.com.
The SB Live audio on the MSI board is very good, probably the best current on-board sound you can get. As fishy says, you won't notice any difference, especially with such an El-cheapo PCI card and wth 2.1
If you really want to upgrade your audio then get something like the SB Audigy 2 ZS. Even with 2.1 you'll easily be able to hear the difference, its got a much tighter bass than the MSI's onboard and will probably use less CPU cycles.

The board I have is the Nforce 4 Ultra not the SLI, Mine does not come with the Soundblaster live onboard, that is only the SLI version

Ah, the you'll probably see some difference, although it won't be all that much.
The CPU utilization will be better with an add on PCI card, that for sure.
