 I would go with whatever is cheaper.

 I have an SB Live and I notice a D R A M A T I C difference in sound
 quality in my emu10k1 vs. my other built in sound cards, via82xx
 intel8x0 als4000... SB  ALS are PCI and the other two are on the
 mo-bo...

 This is an older SB Live (4 speaker - 2000) without 5.1, and it will
 make me purchase another SB Live in the future.

 Buy one! :)

I hear that the SBLive! puts greater load on processor whereas the audigy
performs more processing on board.  Is this true and would this be a
noticeable difference?

 That will add you to the games group, which sounds like it's what's
 disallowing you access to much needed gaming :)

I may completely wrong here but I thought I saw a post emerge message
recently about there no longer being a need for a 'games' group.  Or is
that the case only for certain specific games?
