What are you trying to achieve here? Upgrade gaming performance? It would help a lot to know what mother board you have now.

If you really want to do this you should do it right and buy an SLI motherboard. Otherwise you are better off upgrading to one nice video card.

And as everyone here has said allready most motherboards do come with an onboard sound chip that is adequate for pretty much anything you will do. I usually worry more about maximizing performance first and after that is all set I upgrade the sound.

But you are right about them having low sound quality compared to a nicer sound card. I really like to disable my on board sound and put in a nice Audigy sound card. I have one now, movies sound better, music is better and louder, its worth it to me.
