[ripken204]

get the mystique! much better card.

[Drunner611]

Coming back to this, theres a rebate on the X-Fi Xtrememusic to make it the same price as teh X-Mystique. Any ideas between the two?

I believe the X-Fi cards are THX certified. Think that's right.

I'd get the X-Fi.

[ripken204]

what does thx have to do with anything?

The creative cards have higher versions of EAX, while the auzentechs have only up to eax 2.0. If you are a gamer I would suggest the x-fi, if you listen to music I would suggest the x-mystique or the x-plosion which should be around the same price.
