The M-Audio 2496 soundcard sounds better than the Creative x-fi. The 2496 was the first soundcard I ever bought.....wow I paid about £169 when they first came out....now they go for like £50 new.
The 2496 also works with games and helps to reduce overall CPU usage....atleast that was my experience. Watching DVD's sound nicer also.
I'd go with the 2496 hands down.

The SynthWizard has some advice - Back in the 1980's music was better, TV was better, films were better. Not to mention fashion.... Let me help you relive the past with some classic 80's sounds from my vintage synth collection....
