For $40 I would stick with onboard audio and go buy some food. Also this is a period ".". Use it. The grammar Nazi in me is going crazy!

that board looks archaic, I can't remember the last teal PCB I've seen

 

a 30$ card might actually be an improvement in this case

I read your words first, and it said 'PCI', which is what the DG is. On second take of the picture, I think what you have is 'PCI-E', which is, yes, the DGX. I think DG and DGX is the exact same thing, just the interface that's different (PCI vs PCI-E)

 

Main different is, DGX is 5.1, DSX is 7.1 (other than DTS, sample rate, etc, which is IMO bells and whistles). If you're not too crazy on using 8 speakers for surround sound, maybe the DGX would be better
