Vortex SQ1500 and Vortex2 SQ2500 Shipping puts another piece of PC gear into the September hardware pile, and 1999 is not exactly short on that right now.

Aureal today announced it expects to begin shipping two new Aureal-branded sound card products, the Vortex SQ1500 and the Vortex2 SQ2500, to retail outlets within the next month. The new products will be exclusively marketed under the Aureal name by I/OMagic Corporation, a leading marketer of peripheral PC products. The SQ1500 and SQ2500 offer unprecedented value in terms of features and performance as well as bundled software, which includes several powerful applications and recent game titles.

The hardware race is getting mean, and the upside is simple: gamers keep getting faster, stranger toys to bolt into their rigs.
