Product Description
Add the Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio sound card to your PC and turn your downloaded music into your own personal concert. Watch DVDs or downloaded videos with full cinematic surround sound. Restore the details and vibrance your music and movies lost during compression. X-Fi technology intelligently enhances the highs and lows so you'll hear it all-crisp cymbal crashes, wailing guitar solos, screeching tires and booming explosions. Expand your stereo music and movies into surround sound. Voices are centered in front of you. Ambient sound appears all around you, just like a live performance. Listen on a pair of desktop speakers or a full 5.1 speaker system. Put on your headphones and X-Fi technology moves the sound away from your ears into the space around you. You'll feel like you're sitting in with your favorite band or in the best seat at the movie theater. Connectivity - Speaker and Headphone connections for stereo to 7.1 (Line Out via three 3.5mm mini jacks) Line In / Microphone In / Digital Out / Digital I/O (shared 3.5mm FlexiJack) Auxiliary Line level Input (via 4-pin Molex connector) Intel HD Audio Compatible Front Panel Header (2x5pin) System Requirements - Microsoft Windows XP (Service Pack 2, x64 Edition or Media Center Edition), Intel Pentium 4 1.6 GHz, AMD Athlon XP 2000+ processor or equivalent, Available PCI 2.1 slot, 256MB RAM, 600MB of free hard disk space, CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive, Internet connection to update PowerDVD software

 The new one is Vista Compatible December 13, 2008
K. Latimer (Texas)
I have the new SB soundcard with the exact same part number as the one sold here. I purchased it from Dell for approximately the same price. I notice the box on mine has a Vista sticker about 3 inches high on the upper right corner of the box, whereas the box pictured here does not. Amazon, you need to upgrade the picture. Anyway, my card works correctly with all included drivers and software and does a beautiful job of correctly using all the X-Fi modes to enhance sounds, including Crystalizer, EAX and CMSS 3D. There are no glitches in the operation of this card. So it would seem some of you got the early version of this card without Vista certification.
Increase in Sound Quality March 22, 2008
Ali Shama (NY, NY)
Wanting to increase the sound quality of my Compaq PC which had a built in sound card, I bought X-Fi Xtreme Audio Sound Card. Without question there was a significant upgrade in quality. Full, undistorted sound when playing music and watching videos has help make my computer a complete entertainment center. Worth every penny.
 Not happy with Creative. February 20, 2008

Marketing this as an X-FI card is dishonest. The card itself, and the included software, work very well in windows XP and is all I need for my uses but marketing an audigy chip under the x-fi name has made me very dissapointed with creative.
Very pleased December 19, 2007

Seems to my ears that this product is very good.
I haven't compared it directly with several machines running side by side each with a different sound card, so I cannot review as so.
But I play music, so I'm no deaf. And I hear (very) good sounds.
The install was a flash. No hassle, whatsoever.
The software seems good also.
Maybe, if I could try a more advanced card I wouldn't review the same.
But I'm very satisfied, and I don't need to look any further.
'nuff said, I'm going back to my music.
