    @your first post, Nirvana:
    I don't think so either.

    I've heard of Turtle Beach and Azalia having sound cards--mostly for desktops and USB, but I'm pretty sure Creative is top dog right now.

    @Your second post:

    I have no idea, but if you give me to August 5 I might be able to make a review of sorts. I recently ordered the X-Fi expresscard from Amazon. It's shipping now.

    btw I forgot to mention, I have both Audigy 2 ZS (unusable on my 5793) and Xmod (not good enough for me) already.
