What soundcards have good midi?

Currently, I have the on board soundcard on my motherboard. I am looking to have a good midi synth without reverting to a software synth. Back in the olden days, cards like the gravis ultrasound or the SB AWE series had onboard memory to store the midi samples. I don't want to use system resources and memory storing midi instruments, and would like to upgrade from the horrible sounding ms wavetable synth. Any suggestions as to where I could find one that supports soundfont banks on the hardware side, and not the software side? Thank you in advance.
