    EAX Worth it?

    Man.. how can u missed Xonar in your list? Though I don't really give a xxxx to EAX, Xonar is the only non-Creative card in the market to offer EAX5 in those legacy games. Just go and get Xonar DX, $89 only, if price is a concern... Yeah.. Prelude u might say, but it's still bleeding...
