yea agree with osxchd, x-fi extreme is a newer technology compare to other model in your list. maybe u add rm 200 or less for the fatality.

hey another penang fellow Well I dont' think EMU cards can get easily from Penang, you need to buy online. X Fi extreme music is good if you have balanced usage between gaming and music. Just set it to different modes The recording mode, can set it to rather close audio quality to EMU0404. And I think the price has dropped a lot

And I mean GOOD. Now the rig i bought from RLHH only connected to my sony hifi, simply simply just use the "Left" output only to connect to both speakers. Even that it's sounding like, amazing. Albeit cacat lar, mono->stereo something lidat. EMU0404 all the way bebeh!! well till I can save USD800 for a Lynx that is... This post has been edited by pizzaboy: Apr 3 2006, 12:28 PM
