Last I read from Creative was that they were not going to supply drivers for the Audigy series of cards. The reason was that the Audigy series was too old. I have a X-FI Fatality in my computer and it came with one driver disc for XP and a separate one for Vista. Its working great.

Audigy works fine but if you want EAX support you'll have to pay $10 for the driver.

I am waiting for Ceative's next round of sound cards for Vista. The few cards they offer that are fully functional with Vista are either too expensive or not available.

What is the impact of Windows Vista™ on the Sound Blaster X-Fi series of products? Are there any significant changes after installing new drivers?

Drivers updated from the web will comply with UAA standards. However, due to Microsoft's new Windows Vista™ architecture, some features may be lost. Please refer to the (WRN) Web Release Notes (WRN) found with the new driver downloads for details

Using Vista Home Premium and have the X-Fi Xtremegamer. Works great with the latest driver and alchemy enables EAX in games. If you are willing to wait I'd go for the X-Fi Prelude.
