Does anyone know if the new Auzen X-FI™ Prelude 7.1 will have the same lousy 4Gb+ problem as the X-Fi series from Creative as Auzen is relying in Creative for their drivers?

In case you aren't aware of it, if you install 4Gb or more of RAM in a PC with an X-Fi card in it you lose ALL the EAX and hardware buffer functions of the card - so you're basically left with software audio for games :(

Are you sure about this issue?
Because I have a X-Fi Extreme Gamer Fatality which I run under Vista64 and I have 4GB RAM and have not noticed this problem at all.
 
oops, should have clarified my original post by saying I'm using XP64 Pro. Yeah, just search Creative's forums for X-Fi and 4Gb - basically anyone using XP64 Pro with 4Gb or RAM or more sees their card neuter itself - disable memory remapping (so your rig drops down to 3Gb) or remove a couple of gig and the card goes back to normal :mad:
