[QUOTE="chanster, post: 1203212, member: 53755"] aaaah... another thread on X-Fi. question no.1 would i be able to tell the difference? ----- YES question no.2 will general stuff like avi files,dvd's,mp3,etc sound noticibly different or just games that support high sound quality settings? ----- ALL OF EM! question no.3 will it be worth it? ----- down to your last penny lad! question no.4 is it really really really really worth it? ----- like a new revelation sonny! question no.5 is X-Ram useful? ----- Not Really, only on few games and OpenAL based sound(ie: Prey, Dirt, etc). question no.6 which X-Fi has X-Ram? ----- FYI, all X-Fi has Ram on it (XMusic has 2MB, XGamer has around 4 to 6MB, while XGFatal1ty, XFatal1ty, XElitePro have 64MB) question no.7 what is the differences between X-Fis? ----- Ok.. i've made a quick reference on that: X-Fi Xtreme Audio - Accessories for your barbecue grill or you can use it as a kick ass keychain. X-Fi Xtreme Gamer, Music, Gamer Fatal1ty, Platinum - sounds the same, plus minus some features. X-Fi Elite Pro - sounds better since it has a slight difference architecture, and better DAC, Opamps, and Capacitor sizes. X-Fi Prelude - sounds even better than the rest, since it uses Auzentech technology for sound processing combined with X-Fi chipset. question no.8 what is this modding i kept hearing of? ----- X-Fi uses cheap, low performing, and unstable components to suppress the selling price, that way we all get cheaper price for x-fi, but also by doing that, it caps out the true potential of your X-Fi. question no.9 why on earth would i mod my uber expensive card and risk breaking it? ----- too bad my friend, it does wonders to your ears. question no.10 which X-Fi can be modded? ----- all except Xtreme Audio and Xtreme Gamer. question no.11 modding it will void my warranty, is there anyway i could have the same audio quality but without voiding any warranty? ----- Get Auzentech X-Fi Prelude. question no.12 is there any card better than X-Fi? ----- most certainly yes, but not in gaming. question no.13 do i need the front panel thingy? ----- actually i wouldn't recommend you the front panel.... it degrades the audio quality, if somehow you need it for additional headphone plug, get Plantronics Switcher instead. question no.14 what are the differences between Xtreme Gamer and the other X-Fi? ----- half height cards, no A/D Link, and cannot be modded. question no.15 i'm a little low on cash, would Xtreme Audio be enough? ----- actually yes if your budget really cannot be compromised, but i wouldn't recommend you doing so, that card isn't actually an X-Fi.... question no.16 Hey man! your X-Fi sucks! it doesn't work in Vista! ----- try latest driver for X-Fi, it helps a lot... and actually, almost all soundcards are not working perfectly under vista. question no.17 get a life man! you know too much! ----- i have a life, a great one, if not because of you people keep asking about "is X-Fi really worth it?"
