I got my x-fi xtreme music today (was not bought from ocuk) and was just wondering what your xtreme music card looks like? According to the creative website, it should look like this: http://images.creative.com/iss/images/corporate/artwork/xtrememusic_pdt_hi.jpg

But mine has the little black box in the top right hand corner like shown here on the x-fi elite pro: http://images.creative.com/iss/images/corporate/artwork/XFiPro_pdt_hi.jpg
(which is pretty cool actually cos its got a symbol on it that glows red :D)

I've also noticed there is a black heatsink on mine where the creative processor thing is on both cards. So whats the deal? Have i been sent a X-fi elite pro? I'm not sure how i can check as my card came in a total random green box containing only the card and an install cd.

Thanks for the help :D

edit: here is what my card looks like and everything that came with it

Well, the heatsink comes with the newer X-Fi models, its due to a different manufacturing process that they have started to use to cut costs/speed up production so the chips run slightly hotter. As for the black box thing on the back I'm not sure, what is the model number? (Should say somewhere on the box)

EDIT: Ah, I see the box was not the standard one, does it have anything else on it at all?

EDIT2: Take a look at the card itself, are there any numbers anywhere on the card? On the chips or anything?

What are the numbers on the memory chip above the heatsink?

That'll tell you if you've got one with X-RAM or not.

Should have some stickers on the back of the card though.
 
ahh the model number says sb0460 on a sticker on the back, cheers for help :D. Was hoping i got a little bonus but oh well :p
 
Well mine has the heatsink, but not the little plastic box. Looks a lot like a Fatal1ty that does.

Best way to tell is go on the creative autoupdate and it will detect your card and tell you what model it is.

i just did what you said on the creative website and it says:

Products on your system
Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Fatal1ty Pro, DR release 2.7.4

lol :D

and yea andy, great card! very pleased since i upgraded from a soundblaster live! 5.1 which is about 5-6 years old :p
 
what numbers am i looking for on the memory chip? i just wanna double check, will post the number thats on mine in sec :)

edit- ok really confused now, jsut checked my card and say that it says sb0460 on the actual card itself in the top left corner and not just on a sticker at the back, though its detected as a fatal1ty on the creative site

anyway, the number on top of the memory says "48LC32M16A2" (not sure if the 1 is a 1 or an i). ill do a quick google and see if i can find some info.
