Just to give you an idea, I am running a 2.80Ghz Dual Core on 4GB DDR3 and Windows 7 Professional 64bit.
This device is really easy to install. It does help if you download the Soundblaster drivers from their website (related to the X-FI Pro of course), else youll get imbecilles morons writing negative reviews on here complaining about the poor sound quality!
Just plug to the an available USB port on your Laptop. Theres no need to disable your previous soundcard settings (unless you really want to), because once X-FI is plugged out of the USB & no longer to use, you can easily revert back to your built-in soundcard settings.
The XFI Pro is miles better than my legacy soundcard/chip inside my laptop. Great for audio editing (e.g. on Wavelab, or Adobe Audition), and playback. Im so pleased to have the "What U Hear" functionality back again! Sound quality is exceptional. Creative Labs has never let me down (expept once in 1999, when their Soundblaster Live wasnt not fully compatible with my Cyrix Processor, but that was a tiny little blip)! Highly recommended for those using laptops. If youre on a desktop, I advise to buy a PCI-E sound card & not this.
The box is prone to electrical noise, but the simple reason is because a jack is incorrectly plugged in, so give it a firm push and the noise will disappear.

Every internal sound card I have ever used in the last 20 years has suffered from crosstalk so mouse movements and changes to the display create buzzing and other irritating noises-off. These are especially noticeable when using headphones. This USB external sound card completely cures these problems. At full volume there is unavoidable hum and hiss but absolutely nothing from the PC internal electronics. At sensible volume settings the hum and hiss are negligible and the sound quality is excellent. The graphic equaliser is useful, as is the remote control. I had unusual set-up problems. I had installed virtual-audio-cables to connect between applications like Audacity and sound card signal generators. All the audio I/O defaulted to the virtual cables and it took a while to figure out how to undo this problem. Most buyers will not hit this type of problem. The free PowerDVD player upgrade was a useful bonus. A happy customer.

From the time i have laid eyes on this sound card i have been in love with it, it also does exactly what it says on the box, enhances the way you listen to music and watch moves. I am very satisfied with this sound card. Was a piece of cake to install and love the way it shows the difference straight away from old built in sound cards and the Creative Sound blaster X-FI!!!! A defo recommended buy
