I recenlty got a second card for Crossfire but I seemed to have it a problem.
They're both dual slot cards, and cover my last PCI slot.
The slot with my Razer Barracuda sound card in.

I really don't want to go back to onboard sound but I'm not sure
if there are any good PCI-Express card around.

I have a PCI-E x1 slot and x4 one, so I'm sure any PCI-E card should fit.
Although a normal lenght Sound Card wouldn't fit in the x1 since it'll hit off the ram.

I'm on a bit of a tight budget also so I don't want to go over £100.

Would anyone be able to help me figure out what sound card would be a good replacement for my Razer.

I'm also on Vista x64 so a card with good driver support is essential.
 
Asus DX Xonar or Asus D2X Xonar

I have just ordered the Asus Xonar D2 (PCI version of D2X) gets good reviews, and comes with the added bonus of having nothing to do with Creative :)
 
Sounds good, just looked it up. The DX is the low profile one isn't it?
Do you know if it's as good as the Razer card? I can't seem to get a comparison anywhere.
 
ill be replacing my Augigy 4 soon an d id like to move away from creative, are there any more folks out there with the above cards?
