I currently have a SB Audigy 2 ZS, for playing games like FEAR and Oblivion, should I upgrade to an X-Fi? My speakers say ALTEC Lansing; I’m not sure about their specs because they were a gift, there are two small speakers and a sub-woofer. Should I upgrade them?

Upgrade the speakers to 5.1 or 7.1

The X-Fi is nice, but if you have an Audigy 2 already, I dunno if it's necessarily worth upgrading to X-Fi quite yet. Don't except a world of difference with most current games.

Getting better speakers however could make a world of difference. If you don't have 5.1 speakers yet, I'd suggest to get some.

Good speakers for the money...

Thanks for the info. I found the set you mentioned above NIB on EBay for $127 S&H included!
