At this stage you are better off with the Audigy than the new Creative X-Fi series because they still have some bugs with some computer setups. If you are still using a lot of midi with your own SoundFonts etc, then you will probably want to stick with a SoundBlaster type card. If you are using a lot of RealTracks, then one of the DXi synths is probably called for. Roland VSC-DXi comes with BB, or ForteDXi can be purchased. The Forte DXi is necessary for some Vista configurations.
