zatem czas szykować kase na Xfi, bo do tej pory mój stary Audigy spokojnie wystarczał a jakoś przekonania do Xfi nie miałem właśnie z powodu sterów

Ja bym się jednak na Twoim miejscu wstrzymał. Jak creative się szybko nie dogada z Microsoftem to pod Vistą cały Xfi będzie o kant tyłka rozbić

[forest kila zbila]

jak microsoft się nie dogada sam ze sobą to jak zwykle do sp2 vista będzie o kant.. ;]

Mam dziwne wrażenie, że wydatki marketingowe na viste będą na tyle słuszne, że się sprzeda ;)

A fakt, że system ma niedopuszczać sterowników w tym dźwiękowych do sprzętu spowoduje że wszystkie fantastyczne funkcje X-Fi będzie można podziwiać na pudełku

[costi]

Jak to ma niedopuszczac sterownikow do sprzetu? To po co w takim razie wogole sterownik, skoro jest on z definicji interfejsem miedzy sprzetem a OSem? :blink:

[SGJ]

W Viscie sterownik audio moze korzystac tylko z tego na co pozwolił MS. I tu jest właśnie problem, bo karty typu XFi potrafią znacznie więcej.
