    sound card yay!

    Right now I have the built in 6channel nforce 4 audio. It works VERY VERY well in Bf2, and its 3d sound, I love it! But I head that getting a good sound card and putting sound renderer on hardware gives you higher FPS. Im thinking about getting an x-fi platinum edition? Worth it. I have Audio 90's right now, and Im thinking abouit getting some new speakers too, but for now, with my audio 90s? Worth it?

      The new soundcards are only worth getting if you have a nice surround sound. If you don't have a nice surround sound, you won't see the benefit of a good sound card. It's like buying a Vette and only doing the speedlimit. Kinda pointless you know. But, yes the new sound cards are awesome and you should enjoy it with a good surround sound. Make sure you read up about the problems X-fi users have been having so you're not running into the same problems thinking there's no hope.

        Well I wonder how you can say that the n-force 4 6channel integrated miracle works well with BF2!? I have a one of those as well and I recently bought a X-FI XtremeMusic, the fps didn't raise nearly at all but the sounds are awsome. There are many sounds that I hadn't even heard before!

        When listening to music the difference isn't very big but noticiable. In games which support X-FI the change is huge but with other games the difference isn't much but yes you will notice it.
        Like I had played HL2 with my other computer and it sounded quite nice with an Audigy 1. Then I started to play HL2 with my current comp and I had that integrated card the game sounded quite nice but it wasn't a very powerful audio experience as it was with Audigy 1. After the X-FI the game is an audio experience also.

        I would recommend a upgrade to X-FI from integrated one's for everyone. Even if you have 2 speakers as I do.
