MSI K8N Diamond SLi @ TrustedReviews

“What really makes the K8N Diamond stand out from the crowd is the onboard SoundBlaster Live! 24bit 7.1-channel audio chip. This is the first time since the SoundBlaster PCI 128 that I have seen a Creative chip on a motherboard. Buying a SoundBlaster Live! 24bit 7.1 card would set you back in the region of £30, so this is not a top of the range solution. However, no other motherboard manufacturer can currently offer a better onboard audio solution.”
