Xonar DX or x-fi extreme? (PCI-E)

[joe pineapples]

Hi

I need the pci slot my old audigy 2 is taking up, so basically looking at either a Xonar DX or x-fi extreme (both PCI-E versions). Opinion seems clearly in favour of the Xonar, but i'm just wondering if that includes cpu usage as well. The card will be used mostly for games, and a bit of music listening, and all with a 2 speaker setup.

thanks
