    1. Does using the Creative X-Fi really have a big difference in the sounds? using headphones or not.

    2. Can somebody make an updated post or instruction how to install it in the G73JH?

    if you want to use laptop speakers don't install it ... you won't notice too much changes

    and yes there is difference in sound

    it's just difficult to install it for some of us :)

    There is a very noticeable difference using my headphones. I've rarely heard better sound than when I have my Bose QC-15's plugged into my laptop.

    Don't worry I sympathize. I've heard better. They were given as a gift and I can't afford anything else so troll on :)
