SB Live isn't worth the bother when you can get a X-Fi (XtremeGamer) for ~$65 now. I haven't bothered with a PCI NIC since they started putting them on motherboard chipsets. The overhead is negligible, and to me it's not worth having something else to disrupt airflow.

Edit: er, I guess scratch that on the XtremeGamer... it was $65 at newegg just before xmas but now it's going for $90ish. The Xtreme Audio card is just as bad as onboard sound as far as cpu overhead goes.
