Hey i'm not into USB cards thanks though....

About the Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio 7.1 Channels is it good for games music and movies because from the Reviews i read on www.newegg.com i see some of the people said that it's not really good?

Its fantastic for games and movies,The sound is nice and clear and you can adjust the Bass settings to how you want.

.....ignore what bad reviews its got,They probably had crap speakers!

I have Logitech X-540

Honestly for the price,I highly doubt you will get any better soundcard

lubo4444 · 08-17-2009, 01:49 AM

Ok thanks. I'll go with this one then.

Its true.....But unless he wants to up his budget i highly doubt he will get any better brand new,Check Ebay for other used Creative cards you may get a deal off there.

It is honestly a realy good card for the price,I wouldnt recommend it otherwise.
