    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

    I got the ASUS XONAR PCIe version.

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16829132006

    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).
