Looking for something that uses the least amount of cpu for games, video, mp3. I’m hoping your answer is x-fi cause my friend may be hooking me up with my old auzentech x-fi prelude but I’m also hoping for something cheap that works in isa 🤣 cause I’m running out of pci slots

X-Fi is not gonna work with 98, Only some of the Audigy2 cards will.

So would a audigy2 zs be the fastest card with least cpu usage that works with 98 then?

It is a strong choice:
