I need to pick up a new sound card and don't want to spend a ton of cash. I saw a Hercules card at breast buy for about $20 (can't remember what it was though).
Hit me with some suggestions and let me know what advantages some have over others.

Wait a few weeks for nforce2, and use onboard audio. Excellent audio there

The Philips Acoustic Edge sound card is around 50 bucks Bull and it kicks ass. When you fire it up you will smile and thank me.

If you're near a CompUSA, how about a GameSurround Muse 5.1 for $29.99? Take a look:

ldonyo, that is very similar to the card I say at breast buy for $19.99.
I am going to check it out this weekend. Thanks for all the input.
