RME card for NON pro audio

I have a Sound Blaster live digital right now, and I'm about to get an RME 9636 hammerfall card LINK, and I was wondering if I could (hopefully) just replace my Sound Blaster. Just to free up another PCI port and all. Will it play sound from games and DVD's and CD's just as well and everything? Or is it JUST geared towards pro audio stuff? Thanks for helping me out.

Heads

I am considering stocking some heads. I would like to know what others stock. I work with heavy sounding players. They are normally playing drop tuned heavy guitar stuff. Sometimes dropped down to B. I need some tom skins that are punchy with little resonance and a kick skin that won't mud up the low end with drop tuned guitar and bass. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
