Soundcard Question.

Has anyone got any advice they care to share

I'm in the process of building a new pc & the motherboard I'm looking to use
is the Gigabyte GA-7N400 Pro.
It's onboard sound appears to provide Dolby 6.1 sound

I've currently got Creative's SB Audigy card in my old PC.

My question is should I bother to salvage the old card, puting it into my
new PC or just use the new motherboards OB sound?

Thanks,

Maybe if you play 3D games and think the Audigy card
will tax the CPU less due to lower CPU utilisation(sp?)
 
Using onboard sound slooows down the CPU. And the Audigy will have MUCH
better quality sound than the onboard.
