actually, the A2 is quite good when it comes to performance, it uses up less resources than most sound cards.

That's another reason why it holds the top spot for gaming sound card. The Revo uses more resources and from what I hear, just lacks in the gaming department (compared to the A2 that is.)Quote:

This has nothing to do with the sound card. The number of audio programs you have open is CPU and RAM dependant. You will notice better sound quality yes, but system performance, no.
much like a CPU...a sound card is a single device, and when you have multiple programs requesting sound processing. Usually good processors can kinda process multiple tasks at once but if its starts getting intense (liek when games start having multiple sounds coming from multiple directions while using EAX) you can max the processors out. One program will get fubared, one won't.
It is also limited by how quickly sounds can be pulled from RAM and the HDD drive...but generally its easier to choke the sound processor then the max mem bandwidth.
I have an Audigy 1, and I don't think it sucks. It has better sound than my onboard nForce2 audio. My speakers are the Creative 5.1s, not the best but they don't suck either.
That's what I was sorta thinking Isezumi. Thanks for the replies though probably gonna order it in a couple days. Next project is replacing the speaker wires that the cats chewed through on my monsoons :)
I called up best buy and they said it was $129.99
Have any ads or anything?
Note: Best buy blows...took them 68 rings for them to pickup the damn phone.
WHAT?! Not 69 rings? j/k;) You actually stayed on the line and counted?:)Quote:

I got bored and I work for Circuit City so I was wondering how long it would take them. If we don't answer the phone within 3 rings, we normally get yelled at.Quote:

I checked their site, which they took it down on. However, if you do a search for it, find it, and go to compare it will show up. However, it says not available in stores (what bs). I'm thinking about printing it out and complaining till I get it. What do you all think?
got those pics of the ultras up yet? :)
DO it. Be one of those customers from hell and tell them about the 69, er I mean 68 rings.;)Quote:

Well, I went in tonight :).
I found that they didn't have the regular audigy 2, only the audigy 2 platinum and the higher one. So I went up and started raising hell anyways. I told them it was false advertising and that I'm going to contact the BBB and walked out.
Nope, someone hacked the server I was on (meaning I lost everything and they need to re-setup my account. I contacted them and they said it would be a while...so I'm just going to switch providers. Should be up in 2-3 days.Quote:
