WooHoo! X-Fi baby!

t'was my birthday yesterday (20) and got given a nice discount at a competitor so i decided to spend it on a nice little... X-Fi Xtreme Music sound card

and it only cost £58

hopefully this should be a nice upgrade from my Audigy 2 ZS, which i'm still over the moon with...

am i to expect a nice boost in sound performance/quality over the Audigy 2?
i use a nice set of 5.1 Logitech X-530 speakers

can't wait for this little baby to arrive

cheers for all the replies guys, i always thought the X-530's are good mid-range speakers... i know they're nothing out of this world, but they sound great to me

hopefully the soundcard will arrive tomorrow and i can post my findings

just popped the new X-Fi into the machine and really, really pleased with the sound response... the added features and the increase in performance of features that were already in the Audigy 2 series has come on leaps and bounds... well worth the money.

loving the Gaming/Creation/Entertainment modes... makes life much easier to get that sound you want when playing a game, or the nice sound you can get with listening to a certain type of music... and the Creation stuff will come in handy as i love to mix my own guitar tracks together.

all in all money well spent! well worth my £58
