I use an X-Fi XtremeMusic now. I've always been able to tell the difference between onboard and a good sound card, onboard usually sounds as if the audio is going down a tin can-and-string line. Whether you can tell the difference in CPU usage with modern dual-core processors is another matter, so the gaming performance argument is probably out.

 

With a good set of speakers, I think most people could tell the difference onboard and for instance, an X-Fi or similar.
