    I've been looking around for this a while, my xps m1710 doesn't have the audigy software edition cuz i $25 doesn't worth it. I only found 2 of these availabe. The 1st one is Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Notebook and the 2nd one is Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Notebook. My question is can these fit in my laptop and which one is better?

    check your computer for what slot (PCMCIA for older, expresscard for newer) and then you will have your answer. Audigy is PCMCIA an X-Fi is ExpressCard.
