Creative of Singapore has rolled out the Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1, the world’s first USB 2.0 audio solution in the world which offers a speedy upgrade option for either the PC or notebook. Definitely beats all those on-board audio found in most machines these days, so manufacture certain you have a decent pair of speakers or headphones to go along with it. X-Fi technology boasts full cinematic surround sound, while hardcore gamers will definitely be able to enjoy Creative’s own EAX ADVANCED HD effects for

a higher degree of realism. As for me, while sound is critical in a game, I prefer the most basic sounds in favor of a higher frame rate. In Quake 3, I used to play in r_picmip 5 as it certainly helps with the aim and dodging pesky plasma balls. It will retail for approximately $70 when released later that month.
