    okay, I'm going to buy a pc - and I'm presented with the below choices. What I want to know is if you think the below upgrades are needed and worth the extra cash. I would be using video/tv/audio/music on the computer a lot. Thank you.

    Audigy 2 ZS is a good card. I'm using it. :)

    I have no idea about video cards though. But I believe Radeon stuff is better than Nvidia. ;)

    btw, creative just launched Sound Blaster X- Fi

    Claimed to deliver better quality sound.

    Do NOT get that radeon. Get the 6600 hands down 100%.
