Have a Xfi Fatality PCI card something else?

[zod96]

I've had this Creative Xfi Fatality PCI card now for about 2 years. I really hate Creative's lack of driver updates. Was wondering if their is something better out their that is PCI and has good driver support and works as well or better than the XFI?

Not without spending $150+, and even then the difference would be incremental. A lack of driver updates isn't a sign of laziness on Creative's part, the X-Fi driverset has been developing for almost six years. The release of Windows 7 was probably the last major reason for them to update.
