    I have just built a PC from someone with the following specs...

    Asus P4P800-SE motherboard with this on board sound device...
    ADI AD 1985 SoundMAX® 6-Channel CODEC
    Audio Sensing and Enumeration Technology
    S/PDIF out interface support

    P4 2.8Ghz
    512 MB DDR400

    Although it might not be to much of a big deal with a 2.8Ghz processor,
    I have the on board sound device disabled in the BIOS because I was
    afraid the take some resources. So for now, I have opted for a Sound
    Blaster Live 5.1 taken from another PC.

    Basicaly, which is better?
    Thanks in advance

    Go for the SB 5.1 I tried the on board sound card and although it was
    acceptable the SB is better.

    you may be surprised to find out which "sound system" requires more
    CPU cycles or system resources. It would not surprise me if the
    SBLive drivers eat more CPU than the onboard solution. I'm certain the
    sblive is not conservative in allocating memory for soundfonts. I
    typically try and minimize the amount of memory allocated to
    soundfonts with my SBLive 5.1 (sb0100 card).
