Can't believe the "fake" X-Fi is the cheapest pci-e audio card out there.

That "basic" card has some horrible reviews. Looks like a piece of **** based on the ratings given.

I agree with the sentiment, but that wasn't a good card to use as an example :P

Yep.

lol I don't remember if I mentioned this or not but the card I got is pretty awesome. Great drivers, great sound quality, etc. *shrug*

Which card was it?

I got the ASUS XONAR PCIe version.

I think the only other PCIe cards on Newegg at that time were by Creative and I didn't want to get anything by them.

EDIT: I ended up selling my Wii to my brother for $100 (I never use the thing, PC games are just more fun).
