Get the Xonar DG, it's a very good card for the price.

Should I get the OEM version or the normal one? The only thing you don't get when you buy the OEM version is the box?

Thats correct, cd and manual come with it, at least mine came with it. Good card for a good price

Get the OEM version, you don't miss anything important.

It's a cracking soundcard for the money

Asus Xonar DG 5.1 PCI Sound Card with built in Headphone Amp - OEM.

**Supplied with Driver disk, Manual, Low profile PCI bracket and Xonar DG card - All that's missing is the box!**

Get this if you have a free PCI slot.

wow sounds like a cracking card. I got the xtremegamer, is it really on par with this?

It's not as good as high end cards, but it's massively better than it should be for the price. Unless you've got an amazing set of speakers/cans a DG is all you need.

No. Myself and a few others have found the X-Fi Xtreme Music/Gamer to be better. It is a £20 card though, whereas the fore mentioned X-Fi's were/are £50 or there about.
