What Creative did with this new Sound Blaster is rather than make a card out of it, the Sound Blaster is a USB based external device. The X-Fi, as they call it, operates over a USB interface and will provide full cinematic digital surround sound in hi-fidelity with a 1 second connection.&quot;</em><br /><br /><img border="0" src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/dht/auto/1211116228.usr10.jpg" alt="" /><br /><br />This is a nice solution for multiple types of people.&nbsp; If you've got a laptop and want to upgrade the sound, this is one of the only ways to go.&nbsp; Even if you have a desktop, if your case is full, or if you are afraid to get your hands dirty on an internal installation, this gives you options.<br />
