Hello
Well i finally choose what's the best for the buck and that ASUS drivers , especially GX 2.0 looks so more usefull in win7/vista than ALchemy from creative , and the price makes it final too.
The price im getting for these two on a local site are , 66€ for D1 and 62€ for DX ...
I have been looking reviews and I think this are really great for mid level since supports all EAXes and makes EAX effects in WIN7/vista easily while not relying on openAL converts at all , which is THE BIGGEST THING I need right now.
SO I heard DX and D1 are the same , just a PCIE and PCI versions , but I think not , they use different processors (D1 - Cirrus logic , DX - ASUS AV100)
SO I actually am not worried about future since this PC is quite "new" have more than enought PCI and PCIE1 slots free , and I really don't matter if it's old PCI , since PCI you get all the power , but PCIE DX card needs an "external floppy power" which is kind of , ... well I don't know if I even have the modular cable in , that has that part on so , having to use another big clumsy modular for just this small connection is really awkward.
I hear many good things about DX card but been seeing that DX is regarded as entry level , while D1 being as a higher level ... i know there are D2 and D2X but they are not available on this site and either I don't plan to spend more than 70€ either.
I just think PCI isn't that bad , since , I think D1 is the better one , and you get accessories , one adapter ... , DX gets none. PCIE is newer but I don't see what better it actually provides , data rate ?
