Yes i did notice the date,but this information is always good for people who do a search for a X-Fi sound card on this forum.
nforce mobo's don't mix very well with the X-fi card,nvidia and creative blame each other for incapability.
i have fixed (touch wood) my problems (ut3) with the X-fi by replacing a couple of files,lots of other people won't be so lucky.
i know this web site isn' for gamers but i find it usefull in problem solving,goto gamer discussion sites and you get complicated and extreme fixes which sometimes do more damage than good.
