Default How good/bad is ASUS P5E mobo onboard card

Well, it's technically not onboard. ASUS P5E mobo comes with SupremeFX II daughter sound card. Now that Creative has a memory leak issue, I am considering replacing my Extreme Gamer card with the ASUS card taht came with my mobo. What sort of difference can I expect?

Probably none. I'm not an audiophile, but the integrated audio on my P5Q SE Plus sounds fine. Drivers are better than anything Creative offers too. And its a Via sound chip too, kinda sad isn't it, that Via makes better drivers than Creative Labs.

my last board and my current one, i've been using the on board one as well. I have notice any difference or loss vs using a creative card.
