need a cheap PCI soundcard

should be same quality level as onboard sound on the Abit AI7 and it's for a 2.1 speaker setup

I was thinking an old soundblaster card, but thought I would see what everyone else thought

Since you are only using two channels the AV-710 is a much better solution then any of the "budget" Creative cards.

I completely agree. The Chaintech AV-710 is an amazing card for the price.

Only the rear surround channels have a decent DAC. Check the links...
