audigy SE or audigy?

I've got a Soundblaster card from my dad, but I don't know what this thing is now.
On the card it says just soundblaster Audigy, but also says the model number is SB0570, wich according to the Creative site is a soundblaster audigy SE.
Googling the model number brings identical pictures of the card I have and sites saying Audigy SE.

After the driver installed windows also just calls it a regular Audigy as does the creative driver.

Is this a normal audigy or an SE version?
Is the wrong driver installed or do SE's just display like normal audigy's ?

Whaddya guys think?

I think tou will find that the driver is the same for either one just like it is for the XFI serries

If it works it works, doesnt matter what ya got its better than onboard crap u had.

Well yeah it's a lot better my games are 5.1 again instead of just copying the front & back channels ( is what my old Realtek & soundmax HD rubbish did even in true 5.1 supported games ).

So nvidia_x64 are you sure they call the SE's in windows then just like with the XFI's?

It just shortens the wording when u switched from 16bit to 24 bit as i said on msn.
