Missed the sound card question. Your two channel sound card will only use the front two speakers of your sound system. Oh, and the subwoofer. It may use the other 3, but this would merely be mirroring th esound of the front two, not true 5.1 channel sound. If it does not use the other 3, when you crank up the system all the way, it may slightly quieter than if you were utilizing all of the speakers. I highly recommend you save up the $75 for a Audigy 2 ZS, great sound card. 24 bit sound support, and it will take full advantage of your speakers.
