    Yeah that would be good if you can get it cheap. The biggest piece of advice I could give you is just stay away from OEM soundblasters as some times it can be really hard to get drivers for them. But that wont concren you if you get the AUDIGY 2.

        x-fi is a little better, if your ear can tell the difference. I've got the audigy 2 zs (not pro = no i/o panel breakout box). I like it.

          I ordered myself a X-Fi XtremeMusic today! Check out the card here: http://www.creative.com/products/pro...&product=14066
          Read all about X-Fi & BF2 here: http://www.soundblaster.com/products.../battlefield2/

          We're not exaggerating when we say that the new Sound Blaster X-Fi sound card should make pretty much any PC game in your collection sound much better, and run faster and smoother as well. But when a game is designed from the start to sound great on an X-Fi Audio Processor, game audio fans know that they're in for a treat!

          Digital Illusions, Electronic Arts and Creative Labs worked closely together for six months to optimise Battlefield 2's audio engine for Sound Blaster X-Fi. The Digital Illusions coders were among the very first engineers outside of Creative Labs to get access to Xtreme Fidelity technology, well before details of the new sound card were even released to the press.

          As with all games using 3D positional sound, Battlefield 2 benefits from super-accurate sound placement, stunning audio quality, and powerful audio acceleration when you have a Sound Blaster X-Fi in your system. But the Digital Illusions team wanted to add some extra audio value just for Sound Blaster users.
          What i'm hoping for is better ingame performance... :p
