Using this audio external card: http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/review/creative/sound_blaster_x-fi_surround_5_1/224822/

Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1

Can I run with two of these two sets of 5.1 speakers, each attached to each card, and have it detected by Windows with actually reproducing sound for the two sets ? Would two cards be recognized initially and work ?

If you want to run 2 sets at the same time with the same sound(analog), you can use y cables to take one output from the sound card to each set of speakers input.

The speakers preamp wants voltage and does not require high current(like headphones or passive speakers would).
