[quote name='MarkMan']I love how skill/recognition = too much time on your hands nowadays...
Always love that card...[/quote]
It's what happens when people are jealous but don't want to put in the time do it.
It's like saying Bill Gates created Microsoft 'cause he has too much time on his hands. =)
[quote name='Chacrana']Does EAX really add that much to games? Is it it only beneficial when you're using 5.1? I dunno these things. The other potential option is this:
http://www.auzentech.com/site/products/x-fi_prelude.php
which is the same price and has all the fancy X-Fi features. I guess I've gotta read more reviews before I make my decision.
But you see, kids? Reading and being informed is what lets you be the classiest individual out there.
Edit: from what I've heard though, the card I posted in this post apparently has some minor driver issues and it's maybe not quite as punchy as the other one.[/quote]
I haven't played any EAX games, but all it really is is DSP settings to simulate environments.
I don't even what X-Fi does. I just wanted to take the proc load off of the CPU.
I've been looking into other cards, but mainly for stereo output for music listening. I'd think an X-Fi is good enough to play games...
All the P3: FES hype got me to pre-order it. -_-; I never finished original P3...
