This is a loaded question. We have reached a break-point where sound cards and integrated sound on mobo are equal in performance. Given no driver updates have come from Creative and the other big players in sound, I am going to wait until newer hardware is released. Otherwise, you are dependent on software to keep you sound hardware performing. Not the answer.

M-Audio makes a variety of audio interface devices. PCI, USB, or Firewire. I've got the lowest end one-- the Transit USB. Very portable, and the sound *output* is extremely clean. None of the hiss or noise that I get with my onboard soundcard. I have not tried recording with it yet. You might want a model that provides power to the microphone though.
