Hey.. if I were to buy the creative labs speakers, model 650, er.. the expensive ($360.00) 6.1 setup.. would I have to have the SB Audigy2 Platinum EX? Or can the regular Platinum provide 6.1? For that matter, can the standard Audigy2 provide 6.1?

I don't have a 5.25" bay available, so I need an external solution if it's anything more than just the PCI card. Seems like I'd have to get the Audigy2 Platinum EX ($250 or so), but if I can get away with saving some cash ($50 - $150 less), then I will.

Thanks!
