out of Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer and Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic, which one is better?

 

[gareth170]

so which one better XtremeGamer or XtremeMusic?

also what's it different between Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer 7.1 Sound Card - Retail and Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer 7.1 Sound Card - OEM?

another question..

on the XtremeGamer and XtremeMusic cards do they have a front panel connecter on them? if yes would my audigy 2 zs front panel work with them?

I bought an X-FI Fatality XTreme Gaming Edition and it doesn’t work on my Vista x64 with SLI enabled. I will sell it if you are interested for £65 +£5 recorded delivery postage

No point me keeping it, may as well just accept the loss

PM me if you are interested, the card is only 10 days old

Thanks

EDIT - Sorry if i'm not allowed to try and sell this on these forums?

its ok. ive just bought a X-Fi XtremeGamer. at first it wouldn't work on vista64 but vista32 worked and xp. but when i reinstalled vista64 its working perfectly...

have u tryed reinstalling vista?

i believe its something to do with having an 8800, vista and an Xfi

lol... that helps...

of course it must be one of them thats making the issue..

it could be your motherboard chipset that it doesn't like....

so i really think it could be his motherboard chipset that it doesn't like....

my X-Fi XtremeGamer sounds great on my sound system, so clear and very deep bass.
