![]() A quick look on ebay shows that pricing is pretty equivalent for all four generations - around $10-$15. ![]() ![]() And if given the choice between an Audigy, or Audigy 2/ZS/4 I'd take the later generation card as well. It instantly converts your system to a 5.1 entertainment system that delivers cinematic surround sound - perfect for bringing out the best in your movies, music and games The Sound Blaster Audigy Fx also features a 24-bit 192kHz digital-to. X-Fi isn't a bad card all things considered, but I'd much prefer an A2/A4 or SoundCore if given the choice. The Sound Blaster Audigy Fx is a half-height sound card thats powered by SBX Pro Studio technology. I prefer the "all in one" approach of the Audigy and SoundCore series, versus the "mode switch" feature (which, from time to time, crashes the drivers or audio applications I would say in whatever 4-5 years of owning the card that's probably happened 4-5 times, so it isn't super common, but it is possible). I have a 20k1 (Prelude), it works fine in the 3 systems I've tried it in (two Intel, one ATI), my bigger complaint is just how the driver control panel/functionality is accessed. ![]() I have a CA20K1 PCI card (Elite Pro) and CA20K2 PCIe board (X-Fi Ti) both in use. CA20K1 is more sensitive to PCI quirks than the Audigy chips, but Intel chipsets with native PCI seem to be fine in my experience. PCIe-PCI bridge chips on modern boards are trouble for it too. Some motherboard chipsets have PCI issues that cause problems with CA20K1 though.
