There are some really good onboard sound solutions. Some of the nforce2 boards have soundstorm, and it is has hardware acceleration (it shouldn't drain your cpu time very much) and 6 channel support, might not be a TB Santa Cruz...
It definately will get you going where you want to go if you don't want to go where there are places where those things are and they say don't go there because we don't want you to go there because when we went there there were we and we said to ourselves do we really want to be with we and where we were going before we went together?
