Hello,
I was wondering if the newer pci-e sound cards actually benefit from the increased bandwidth over standard PCI slots?
Essentially creative has both a PCI and PCI-e version of its basic X-Fi sound card
pci-e: http://us.store.creative.com/Creative-Sound-Blaster-XFi-Xtreme-Audio/M/B000W7PNZI.htm
PCI: us.creative.com/products/go.asp?product=15855
*****These two cards I listed arent actual X-FI cards...they are rehased audigys apparantly. People say this is a shady marketing stategy well it is...its 'breach of contract' via 'misrepresentation' so anyone who has these cards can go get their money back.
It seems true x-FI cards are all PCI-E anyway so my question is now somewhat moot....
