Creative X-Fi Go!
The audio card market is clearly dominated by Creative, but this supremacy doesn’t always seem to prove beneficial to end-users. Sure, there still are Realtek, Terratec and M-Audio, which target specific groups like professional musicians or budget users. However, multimedia and game support has been with Creative ever since Aureal died. Creative seems pretty happy with X-Fi and, because there’s no real threat coming from other companies, no new technologies got previewed as of lately, except for some diversified products based on X-Fi. The latest addition to the X-Fi lineup is the X-Fi Go!
The product is quite ambiguous to say in the least. It integrates 1GB of flash memory which Creative says is meant to be using for storing save games, game profiles and just about anything else. Fudzilla reports that Creative managed to squeeze support for Alchemy, to make it backwards compatible with older games, plus the newer CMSS-3D and EAX Advanced HD. The USB dongle has a headphone and mic connector and it includes all the drivers you need. I’m trying to figure out the actual use for such a device. Maybe it’s meant for people who want quality sounds on their office PCs.
X-Fi Go! Is set to cost S$79, but it will be available only in Singapore for the time being.
