Difference between X-Fi Extreme Audio and Extreme Gamer?

£25 price difference but what do you get for the extra cash?

The specs on the Creative site are differently written for both items so it is difficult to compare, but on first looks they both have the same processor etc. so I assume that they sound the same, so what do you get for £25 more?

Found out for myself thanks. The cheapo Extreme Audio actually has the Audigy chipset and requires software emulation, whilst the Extreme Gamer and above have a different chipset and all the work is done in hardware.

Just been out and collected the Gamer version.
