Why don't you put all your questions into one?
Sound Blaster X-Fi. They have EAX 5.0, which is slightly better than EAX 2.0. You're grasping at straws, though, getting a discrete sound card instead of using onboard sound is such a small difference in end-user experience that it isn't worth it unless you just like to throw away money. That's why discrete sound cards are only 1% of the market.
(The only exception is if your motherboard has a realtek audio codec since those don't do EAX 2.0 properly.)

Dude. Its six speakers so its 6.1. If you have money to burn then just buy the most expensive one you can find. Hope you arent some rich spoiled kid.
