I am currently thinking about upgrading to the X-Fi soundcard but if I did is it futureproof?
What I mean is within the next year or so I plan to upgrade to a 64 bit PC (and therefore a PCI Express motherboard) so will the X-Fi soundcard fit in it?
In the system requirements it mentions that a PCI 2.1 slot is needed for the audio card, I carried out a quick Google search and it appears to be a newer version of the standard PCI interface or am I mistaken?
If this is the case then it wouldn't be futureproof so I will pass.
Perhaps there are 2 versions PCI and PCI Express
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks.
