....I ain't a Sound Blaster fan.....

....was lookin for somethin to replace my onboard card.........which put too much of a load on the CPU.......for a picky gamer like me....

....surprisingly.......during my research.......the XFI kept coming up tops.....in term of sound quality....and reduction in CPU load.....

....though it was the most expensive.....

....anyhoot.........pinched my nose........and bought the XFI......

....installed it last night...........and damn.......quite a difference in sound quality from the onboard.....

....my MP3 rocked......

....video sounded much better also.....

....this weekend.......I'll test it out on games......

....hopefully it'll iliminate.....or at least reduce greatly......the game slow down problem I've been having with the onboard.....

.....summary:.........great freakin card.....

I have an Audigy 2 ZS pumping out to Klipsch Ultra 5.1's.

Haven't heard an XFI yet. How does it compare to the 2 ZS? What kind of speakers have ya got set up w/ it?

.....I had an Audigy in my old computer.............but I don't think it was the 2ZS........

......so I dunno how it compares.......

.....I just know it sounds way better than my old Audigy.........or the onboard RealTek....

.....I have just a pair of cheapy Altech speakers and subwoofer...............and I can still tell the diff on these speakers.....

....I will try their 3D sound simulation.....for the headphones.....this weekend....
