Legacy PCI is the SB Audigy2 ZS.
It won't taxi your PCI interconnect at all.

Most sound cards don't taxi too bad -- well under 10%.
*UNTIL* you start doing 3D audio.

That's what separates the boys from the men in sound cards.
Whether the sound card is relying on 20+% of the CPU's time to do
computation -- and worse, sending back the multi-MB stream of encodings
to various channels.
Or whether the sound card's IC does it, as with the Audigy.

I haven't personally used any PCIe x1 sound cards, so I can't vouche for
them.

But the SB Audigy2 ZS does the job fine, without killing your legacy
PCI.
