And how all the hardware support improve the sound quality in gaming? If all the hardware support really improve the sound quality twice as much as the X-Meridian in gaming then will a X-Fi with a set of cheap speaker give an equivalent sound quality as the X-Meridian connecting to a set of speaker with twice the quality of the cheap speaker? For some the realistic effect from the EAX is more important than the sound quality and for others the sound quality is more important, the X-Fi and X-Meridian are in two different worlds. You can't say one is better than the other. If you want both high sound quality and realistic effect then buy the Elite Pro.
Actually the 2nd rate Audigy ES is the last add on sound card I bought from Creative before the nForce Sound Storm came out. At that time the Audigy ES is comparable to the Xtreme Music now. The cards from Auzentech are replacements for my sound storm.
For me it is cheaper to sell my 7950GT and buy a used X1950XTX with 512MB GDDR4 when the 8800GTX comes out than buying a X-FI with 64MB XRam and I will get a much higher performance boost in games with a new graphic card.
