I have come across many posts about people who have crackling and popping
with their creative X-FI products. Even on the creative forums this seems
to be an issue.

1.) Who are creative's competitors and are they really competitors.
2.) Any real benefit buying the Creative SOUND BLASTER X-Fi Fatal1ty FPS
7.1 when all you do on the system is gaming?

Also, does anyone know of good forums for gamers who discuss hardware?

My Fatal1ty works perfectly on AMD 3000+, 1Gig,
G7VAXP, with JBL speakers.
