Sound blaster cards, and an integrated sound blaster codec are two *very* different things from a sound quality perspective. The cards have all kinds of extra power isolation and filtration that simply isn't possible on the constrained space of a CPU motherboard. Just like a good USB DAC will be a sound quality upgrade over the creative cards, a half-decent creative card is still a sound quality improvement over even a really well designed sound blaster motherboard.
