should I buy Sound Blaster Audigy?

[Octopus]

I don't know what I will be getting in games with EAX enabled.should I go for it?or is there a budget card that has everything for games?

I only recently got my Audigy2.

At 1st I was like, so how much difference is it gonna make from my old Live! card?

Well let me tell you the sound is exceptional. Crisp, clean sounds, and EAX/EAX HD, really adds depth and brings games to life. Sounds come from all different directions (if you have surround setup), if not you still get great sounds.

Drivers work 100% in XP, no problemo

If you can afford it buy it today!!

Only buy it if you the money and a very good speaker set to go along cause you wont notice a difference with a cheap speaker set.

Well it's a great card, I love my Audigy 2.

Avoid the audigy 1 cards as they can be troublesome with XP the AUdigy2 cards are great though I love my Platinum :happy:
