microsofts "kin" phone has been prematurely killed.. nvidias best chance of getting tegra out there.. silenced forever with a well placed shotgun shell to the head.. i mean paper shredder. nvidia has just gotta let tegra go.. its just got to.. though its certainly not the end of nvidia commercial market it wont add to its repuation.. when nintendo, samsung and microsoft all dont want your product.. you dont make many friends :P

I don't know about Creative's own X-Fi cards, but Auzentech-built X-Fi cards apparently are less wonky on the driver side of things (despite still being Creative drivers) while rivalling Asus' Xonar line in sound quality (though the Xonar Essence STX is still regarded to be top-of-the-line regarding sound quality for headphone users). Generally speaking, the way to go is Xonar for music and Auzentech X-Fi for gaming. Movies would probably go either way. [QUOTE="aura_enchanted"]

this would be my pick anyday.. simply put the best sound card since 2005 :P

i modified this one for a cheaper case (guardian 921), swapped the water cooling for the stock fansink though your welcome to change it back for 10 bucks, went with a cheaper psu, get a milldly beefier mobo, and you picked up some extras (free copies of battleforge, codmw2, stalker COP) some free case art and some extras fatures (cable mangement, proper protection for the internals and finally extended the warranty to two years.

all of this on top of a better gpu and a phenom II x4 cpu.. for about the same price (969 and change)

take it away vince:

"i dont know it sells itself"

Also, the main reason I want a new card is the get rid of the hissing and popping that goes along with a stock card. I've read some reviews and it looks like the Xonar seems to do a better job of getting rid of that than any Creative card. Still not sure though because the Xonar doesn't seem to be made for gaming.

odds are the best a console will be is:

phenom x4 2.6ghz, 4gb ram and an hd 3870 at best.. if you can top that any console game is pie...

and fyi the first amd 4 cores suck eggs.. basic core 2 duo's own them..

its basically a 40% success rate getting installed on windows 7 the rest have a 30% chance of getting it going via a workaround and the rest are **** out of luck and need to reinstall an older OS.
