Internet music and soundcard

The Warden is really into music, Korean music, she has at least 2000 files or songs on her Hard drive (Did I pay for all that ? Ouch!) anyway she is a member of a website that allows her a page to be a “CJ” of sorts (That is a Computer Disk Jockey) and she has fun playing her music so others can listen. She uses WinAmp to play the music.Her main computer is a EPoX 939 NF4 Ultra (9NPA+ Ultra) board, Opteron 148, 2X 512 PC3200 Ballistix (2-2-2-6), DVD Burner, Floppy, a 250 and a 320 Gig hard drive. I gave her my X-Fi Platinum and she has the latest X-Fi drivers for Win XP Home

People have told her (Via text messages) that her sound card sounds great. Super…. I think, but it caused me to wonder, as I don’t really have a clue, does her sound card really make a difference in sending music via Winamp and the net?

If it does I will certainly be hammered soon for 2 of her computers have “on board” and the remaining one a Audigy Value. She will want to upgrade.

Maybe for music creative would not be the best situation. (I presume Creative and Microsoft got the NF4 and X-Fi crackling fixed as we don’t seem to have a problem that I have heard about)

I could buy her two new Sound cards for her 754 and 939 on board sound machines, or I have a SB Live card and a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz in the parts bin. Maybe if the machines sound makes a difference, I should put those cards or something else in her other machines?

Kind of a crazy post, but if you can make sense of part or all of it and have a opinion let me know.
