Creative Audigy 2 hits the motherboards
Do you think having integrated audio sucks? Many do, but now some new motherboards are being fitted with Creative Audigy 2 chips on the board. While these chips are too “old” for Creative to market on add in cards they are perfect for mainstream gaming boards.
MSI has launched a new revision of its AMD board, dubbed K8N Diamond Plus. Although “Plus” isn’t saying something special, we’re talking about fully-fledged nForce4-SLI x16 motherboard. The K8N Diamond Plus features Audigy2 sound chip (named Audigy SE), a welcome improvement over already good SoundBlaster Live! 24-bit 7.1. The new board also sports Dolby Digital certification. A second manufacturer that is adding the Audigy 2 chip is GigaByte, with several of their cream-of-the-crop products for Yuletide.
