Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Notebook

Does anyone know if the Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Notebook PCMCIA card will fit in the Gateway P-6831FX slot??

I've notice that the card it self is cut off like an L shape design and normal pcmcia card don't fit it.?

I was looking in upgrading my sound system. Since standard PCMCIA card don't fit it.

 

I remember people saying that it DOES fit, but it sticks out a lot from the slot itself and it doesn't give admirable performance.

 

you've made some mistakes there:
for PCMCIA, it called "Creative PCMCIA Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Notebook" and this doesn't fit in p-6831fx


for express card, it called "ExpressCard Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Notebook", this is the one you should be buying

 

the express version is the one you want. i have one on order, a little pricey but ive heard it makes a huge improvement, the best with a headset or 5.1/7.1 speakers

 

Thanks for the input I just wanted to make sure. I think I will go ahead and order the x-fi xtreme card.

 

by the way, if you plan on using 5.1/7.1 with this card, you need the dongle, which is sold seperately.

 

if you order the X-fi extreme pleas make a review or open a topic so we can discus for Sound Card

This is a nice review however after my experince with X-FI Music Xtreem for my desktop I decided to don't buy anything from creative anymore.
The lack of compatibilty with other OS like linux and even vista made me sell it for cheap on eBay.
I wish there is any other alternative.

 

I thought I just give the audio an upgrade a boost since the internal sound card from the P-6831FX is lacking surround sound 3D.

 

yes I saw that, but i want to so how it works on GATEWAY laptops
