Thinking about buying a X-Fi

All of it. More powerfull and crisp. Hardware processing is always better than software, no question about it.

I have X-fi Titanium (2nd gen). Had no problems in the past, but suffering from tearing after moving to Win7 RC 64-bit (no issues on RC or beta 32-bit). It could also be from moving to new CPU and 4GB RAM, but the OS seems most likely cause. 90% certain it's IRQ sharing issue.

Most games don't support EAX, so don't buy for that, get it for quality of sound.
