I was looking to get an old discontinued X-Fi Xtreme Music Soundblaster card. But all I can find are the newer Xtreme Auido, that dont seem to have the EAX 5.0 nor any hardware acceleration.
But aint Windows7 like vista and uses software to run all its soundfiles?
So Im wondering, is it worth trying to find the older Music card, or will the new Audio card perform better under Windows7?
And further, will the X-Fi Xtreme Gamer card, with its on-board memory, be useless under Windows 7 if all sound is software driven???
Thanks,
