Which X-Fi?

[Willbo]

I am looking at a new soundcard to replace my Audigy 2ZS Pro, as well as eventually my whole pc. My PC is mainly used for gaming and listening to MP3's occasionaly.

I'm looking at either the;

* Creative X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Soundcard - Retail (SC-045-CL)
or
* Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Music - OEM (SC-043-CL)


Which would be better? Or are they both pretty much identical cards?

what, if any...are the differences between the two cards then? Is one more powerful or got more features?

Just curious really as i noticed the gamer on special offer this week.
