X-Fi finally goes PCI-Express
THOSE ITCHING FOR a little more aural pleasure than that provided by their on-board motherboard sound may be pleased to know that Creative is stepping out with a few new models in its X-Fi Fatal1ty line.
Yes, carrying the moniker of legendary super-dweeb Jonathan ‘Fatal1ty’ Wendell, he of the 5 minutes of Quake fame, Creative has two new boards designed with gamers in mind, both with names long enough to give Mavis Beacon finger fatigue.
The ‘Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Professional Series’ card is a fairly standard X-Fi card with a PCI-Express x1 connector to fit onto modern motherboards that lack standard PCI slots. It has the usual bevvy of output connectors as well as the Alchemy technology that returns EAX effects to Vista gaming.
Meanwhile, the ‘Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Champion Series’ is the same thing, but with a drive-bay add-in that brings audio ports and volume controls to the front of the computer.
