X-Fi Xtrememusic OEM version, question for those in the know, is it real or not?

[Raelthorne]

Hi,

I'm interested in getting the OEM X-Fi Xtrememusic card off this site. I was wondering if anyone who has an OEM version can tell me if this is the same hardware as the normal retail version?

I know that OEM versions usually are provided without packaging, software etc, but there is a number of OEM X-Fi's which are technically inferior than the retail version, it seems to be missing a number of hardware features such as decoding.

See here for details:

When is my X-Fi not an X-Fi?

I think this may have been refered to in a previous post

Can you let me know if the one you have/OCUK is selling, is technically the same as the retail one.

thanks,

Ken
