new sound card?

[tankman10024]

i have a old system about 6 yrs old. i just changed my hard drive from the old 40GB to an 120GB maxtor so far its great! i want to upgrade my sound card as well as other componments. but I was looking at the sound blaster X FI or the audiogy Z2 which of these two will work better this my system?

What do you plan to use this computer for? (Gaming, watching DVDs etc.)

if your system is 6 years old, then why would you want to put a top-of-the-line sound card in it? What cpu and video card do you have?

 

[tankman10024]

ooppss i forgot to tell you that. Im not really into games. but music i am and i want a card that will give me really great sound.

I would probably just settle for the: Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS.
But that's just my opinion.

 

[Geoff]

I agree with elite, i'd go with either the Audigy 2 value or audigy 2zs. Since your computer might now even be up to the requirements for the X-Fi.

hey geoff i see you have the XFI how do you like it?

 

[spacedude89]
