i got a question about the Creative Xi-Fi cards that have the onboard ram.

i have seen one of them rather cheap at a store (such a nice price that i am interested evne tho it uses PCI).

but ive read that the onboard ram has to be supported by the game and doesnt bring much performence over the cards without it is that true?
Ive checked the creative site but they dont list wich games support it, i know that the last 2 battlefield games and quake 4 support it but wich other games do?

You won't see a performance increase in games that don't support the onboard RAM and in the games that do support it, the difference is kind of minimal. It's nothing really to get excited about when compared with a normal X-Fi without onboard RAM. Although I think more games in the near future will add support for the X-RAM, I don't think it's really necessary unless you're strapped for system RAM.

Don't bother with marketing tricks... ;)
