or the Auzentech x-plosion

I can only choose between these 2

also, i dont know where to put this thread so sorry if in wrong section

Probably want to put this in one of the HTPC or gaming forums.

I would by the Auzentech. First, the gamer card of the X-fi line is the low end, with cheaper output stages, so not the greatest for music; I think the Auzentech is slightly better.

Second, and much more importantly: Creative driver support has always been terrible. And with Windows Vista, the special features of the cards are mostly not available. With XAudio2, the replacement for DirectSound (the part of the OS that all games use for playing sound), sound cards can't even do any gaming effects; it's all in software, so the nice hardware of the X-fi is going to go un-used.
