    hi

    I have an Audigy 2 NX card for my Dell Inspiron 8600 which generally produces great sound but seems to have problems in some games. I'm wondering whether getting the Audigy 2 ZS pcmia card would improve performance.

    Is one interface theoretically faster, less resource intensive than the other?

    One of the games in question is Colin McRae 2005 and only when driving with the in car view.

    cheers
