 The Audigy is not a bad card, in fact its great if you want to an all round 
 card for games, music, dvd's etc... It's just not the best for music 
 production. 
 If you have space you could put an OEM card in alongside your "Pro" audio 
 card, and use it for sounfont support during music production and for 
 everything else when you're not doing music. 
 The OEM Audigy 2 is very cheap, €50-ish i think 
  
 You  say you have a Delta 44, thats a fine audio card, so why do  you want a 
 Terratec? 
 (BTW, i'm not putting terretac down, I used a MT88, and a DMX6Fire for 
 18months with no problems at all) 
  
 I've been working from a laptop for 3 months now, using an Edirol UA20. It's 
 ok, but not exactly feature packed! plus the Audio out is very low, wish i'd 
 waited for the terratec :o(
