Onboard Audio vs SB Live

Setting up my new rig (Epox 9NPA+ Ultra & Opty 144). trying to decide which sound option. Should I use the onboard realtek, or pop in my old SounbBlaster Live! card (with the LiveDrive module)

Thanks!
 
The Live is probably better. I haven't used my 9NPA+ Ultra's onboard though, but if it's anything like the Abit IS7's audio I'm using now the Live will be much better.
 
The onboard on my 9NPA+SLI sounds like arse. It has no bass whatsoever and clips and distorts when you try to add any. The Live will sound better.
