|  X-FI or audigy
well I was looking at this X-Fi sound card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16829102188
and this audigy card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16829102178
Now wich is a better "bang for the buck" Now i noticed that the audigy is OEM, now that just means no setup disc right?

okay I am just curious: is the thing between the X-Fi and the audigy a ford/chevy thing? Becuase correct me if I am wrong arent they both made by the same company?
Anyways I have also heard that the X-FI is just a flashy, shiny version of the audigy series.

X-Fi is a completely different arcitecture.
If you plan on using anything but JUST WINDOWS then get anything but an X-Fi, but if you want to JUST USE WINDOWS AND NOTHING ELSE EVER then go with the X-Fi.

now I also noticed a different looking connector on the back of the X-FI and the same thing on the back of the x-5500 sound system.
What does it do?
