[QUOTE="sportwarrior"]There's also the Xtreme Audio for $65.99... why all the different price levels? What's the difference once you get past the Fatal1ty? I could also get the retail version with a $50 rebate to bring it down to $130 with front panel and remote, but I don't really need that...
it depends on which "Fatal1ty" you are talking about... there's 2 versions, one with a console and one without.... that's the difference between those two. The Fatal1ty version with the console is identical to the Platinum except the Platinum doesn't have the X-Ram. I'm not sure, but I think the XtremeGamer is a bit more stripped down but essentially the same as the XtremeMusic, but the Music has more inputs and the ability to connect to a console, plus I think it had some special feature... the X-Fi XtremeAudio is just the stripped down entry-level card
[QUOTE="sublime5343"][QUOTE="Alpha_Omega69"][QUOTE="DirkVDV01"][QUOTE="Alpha_Omega69"][QUOTE="sublime5343"]the difference is that a hardcore PC gamer would never be caught dead with anything labeled "Fatal1ty" in his rig...
:D
... seriously, though, games don't use "X-Ram" right now so don't worry about it. Alpha_Omega69
Why is that? are they bad or somthing? :| Overrated, you pay for the name more then for the performance So then what would be the best alternative? Audigy 4?
no no no no no... don't get an Audigy!
I got the X-Fi Platinum shortly after X-Fi came out, and it was the best option for me because I wanted a console with the card because at the time I used the aux jacks for xbox 360 sound...
right now, the X-Fi XtremeGamer is a really popular choice if you want X-Fi sound at low cost... it's only around $90 and is geared more towards gaming and less towards all the multimedia music/dvd extras... although it will still give you great 24-bit 7.1 sound for all your needs
hardware geeks just always make fun of the Fatal1ty brand because it's usually just a mark up because of the name... but noobs seem to gravitate towards it... Fatal1ty is just a noob who would rather play Painkiller or Quake 3 than BF2 or CS:S Well I got the Fatal1ty....damnit lol, so its not good at all with 7.1 setups? and not god with bf2?
nah, man, it's still a good card. It's the X-Fi Platinum with "X-Ram" lol
it's just something that's not needed in gaming, but if you got it for only a few bucks more than the Platinum, then it's no big deal. People just made fun of it because when the X-Fi series was first released it was like an extra $50 or $100 more than the Platinum! But now since the X-Fi's have been out for a while and not many people bought the Fatal1ty version, the price has dropped closer to the Platinum...
still a good card, dude, and you'll be able to run BF2 at ultra high X-Fi hardware audio settings w/ EAX and everything... the sound is amazing when compared to crap onboard audio.

It figures, you're Canadian. Do you guys even have a military or do you just rely on the protection of the US? :lol:
Yes we do.
And yes we leech off your ridiculously powerful and expensive military for strategic protection.
HAHA...
That was actually pretty funny.
Sometimes the truth IS funny! :lol:
No no...
It was funny, because you obviously tried to disrespect his country, yet he timidly replied and showed no insult. Granting you no satisfaction of any kind.
Now... were he to bash America, you, like the butter head that you are, would take it in the ass...
...literally...
That post makes absolutely no sense. Try again.
And I'm being serious, it just doesn't make any sense. Revise it, and post again!

Except this guy ^
What is your goal in life? To be a Gamespot mod? Better yet, work at EBgames so you can get a discount? At least the guys who join the military will do something with their lives.
My goal in life is to live.
It's quite tough to do that when you're being shot at...
There are other jobs than infantry you know.
I'm sure, but there are other things you can do with your life than join the military.
Like write a book... ...which is what I'm doing, actually.
To succeed, you need to think. To think is to learn. To learn is to be creative. And to be creative is to make art.
It's tough to succeed, think, learn, create, and be artistic when you're shooting, being shot at, loading a 44, packing a magazine, carpet bombing a mountain, scouting enemy territory, or sitting your ass on a naval vessel.
That sounds like a cheesy bumper sticker. Many "creative" people from history have military backgrounds. You will most definitely fail at your attempt to write a book. When that happens, you might want to consider a military enlistment as a journalist.
