Most Favorable Review

Very suprised!

Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio VARPAK 7.1 Channels 24-bit 96KHz PCI Express x1 Interface Sound Card
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio VARPAK 7.1 Channels 24-bit 96KHz PCI Express x1 Interface Sound Card

Pros: I have always needed a soundcard, because the onboard sound was never quite good enoungh and did not have room because of SLI. I was somewhat leary of the PCI-e version of this card (because Creative does not support it and neither does Newegg....which is quite funny beacause they sell it!), but popped it in the A8n32 SLI board ran the driver disk and VIOLA....has worked perfectly. ....SO FAR in XP 32(have not took the Vista plunge yet). Surround sound and EAX is incredible in Bioshock, Fear, Far Cry and MOHA. Music (mp3 Mp4)is much better than onboard and for $49.00 (this is a steal.

Cons: Seems to be a problem on some Motherboards recognizing this card...the Asus A8N32 Sli Dlx 1303 bios has no problems with it. Was point blank told by Creative that they do not support this card. Newegg plays the "we don't provide support" card.

Overall Review: I took a chance and this card worked for me...your mileage may obviously vary. Newegg... as always came through with an RMA(just in case), which I do not need. I don't quite understand why Creative won't support this card. If things change I will report back later.

Killer :)
