Yes, especially for games that support the newer EAX effects
.

Edit: Almost forgot, for music, put it in Audio Creation and select bit-matching. Sounds soo much better

Yes the Xfi will definitely sound better.

Don't hear any difference.. But I'm using ASIO so will this effect it?

BitMatched playback sounded no better at all when I had my Prelude.

To be honest, an Xtreme Gamer X-Fi probably won't sound any better than the Audigy 2 modded to X-Fi in music.

In games you might notice a small difference, but not much. EAX really isn't amazing.

But how about a real X-Fi card like the Elite Pro or the Fatality Platinum?

I have the same card with the xmod.
the Best Thing for those are the ASIO drivers (music only from my experience) the SQ improvement is eargasmic - it makes siberias sound like grados (sr60) (metaphorically) > and whatever you connect to it - speakers etc...

edit. I have the SE version

They are more of an upgrade, the Prelude is pretty much the best X-Fi card.

The only real upgrade from that Audigy dude is to go onto something a bit more towards the top end... I.e an X-Fi Elite Pro or an ASUS Xonar DX or better.
