Xtreme Fidelity

X-Fi for short. I've just finished installing my new X-fi Fatal1ty soundcard, and reinstalling windows (cos it sucked and alot of hardware has changed). Anyhow, the drivers for xfi are installed, and I'm just blogging at this unholy hour cos I'm so amazed at what creative has done! Not only is the user interface way better than before, but I've quickly tested some mp3s on it, and 2 things really stand out:
The Crystaliser: Supposedly makes your mp3s sound alot better, and man do they! I don't know what it does but it really really makes everything sound so much sharper and clearer, and I tried lots from different sourcers
But the best thing I liked is the smart speaker settings. As the card comes with a drivebay, if you connect some headphones it automatically detects that, and so mutes the main speakers, and changes my settings from 7.1 to headphones, plus all equaliser things are changed too! A small, but very nifty and impressive feature, that sure makes a difference.

If you're reading this and you like music, or like games, then this is the card to get. Just listening to those crystalised songs is hair-standing.
