Audigy Platinum still good?

[tsunami2k3]

Hi all,

I have an Audigy Platinum in a 3-year old computer which I plan to give away when I build a new one in a few weeks. I am addicted to the awesome front panel, but I'm not sure whether it is wiser to keep it and have an older card in a new system or wiser to spend $200 on the Audigy2 ZS Platinum for my new rig. I am leaning towards keeping the old card, considering that $200 could go elsewhere in my system.

So my question is: Do you think the Audigy Platinum is worth keeping?

Thanks in advance.

Do you think the Audigy Platinum is worth keeping?

Of course its worth keeping! But the question should be! Is it any where close to the Audigy 2 ZS Platinums performance? The answer to that, is NO!

But what you should be after is the X-FI Platinum Period!
