I noticed this on the creative website

http://www.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=209&subcategory=669&product=15855

Its a cut down xfi card

Can anyone say why it does not work so well with games, would it not be compatible with bf2 for example?

Edit:

I would not run the on board sound as well as a soundcard.

I think it can be disabled in the bios.

Whats the difference between the OEM (£51) and the Gamer (£58)?

Length of guarantee mainly I think

Just saw the link on the first page, you were indeed talking about yet another card to be released under the X-Fi name. Talk about confusion!

Yep, only 1 person in the thread knows what I was talking about lol
I just wondered how it compared, the link moody gave doesnt seem to work. I guess its fine for windows but doesnt really work in games?
Though EAX in software is probably fine with the cpu power we have nowadays

I havent really seen that yet though and by the time it happens they'll be even more power available. Theres 4 core now, 8 core soon and 32 core by the end of the decade apparently
