I might get a Mac Mini at good price. I wonder if there is a way I could use Sound Blaster X-Fi with it. According to what I know this is by far better source then onboard Realtec audio.
Thanks!

The original X-Fi definitely not but you might want to take a look at http://www.creative.com/products/p [...] duct=15913

What is your usage? If you are using it for music, then this product is for you.

I actually thought about getting my existing X-Fi to work on Mac.
But this is another solution... not bad, considering it is USB sound card that can also be used standalone. For the price not a bad deal...
Extra pro is the color match, LOL.

Ok. I have an 8 core MacPro. It has 4 PCIe slots on it. I run My ATI X1900 XT in slot one. I run An X-FI PCI express card in my machine. But it only works in winders. Here is the link for this card. http://us.creative.com/products/pr [...] duct=16770 it runs very well. and I am also orking on developing a driver and app for OS X leopard. Enjoy. Oh just incase Vista Ultimate 64 is what I am using. And it was installed without boot camp on a second drive.

Anonymous are you still around? You mention you are developing a driver for XFI to run on Mac. Will you please head over to insanelymac.com and let those people know? If you are serious, then it would be a great boon in the audio side of the community.
