What's the difference between these two cards apart from £30+ in price difference?

You get a little white X-Fi illuminated logo on the black casing of the Fatal1ty one.

Plus other stuff too I'm sure.

The Fatality also has X-Ram, although I am not sure if it is that useful. It basically allows the card to decompress audio files during load time of a level, therefore reducing the load on the CPU used to decompress the files during gameplay.
I don't know how many games support it, but I do know stuff like BF2 and Doom3 do.

Since Vista came along and we lost the HAL many game designers have started to steer away from Creative's proprietary technologies. I can't think of any recent game I have that mentions X-RAM or EAX

And this all happened shortly after I spewed out for my prelude.

Also with a lot of people having high performance multicore CPUs do you think X-Ram could really change that much? Sadly I feel its a gimmick.
