Default X-Fi, Audigy comparison.

Hi,

I am looking for a new sound card. It seems that the Creative Sound Blaster sounds cards are highly recommended here. I am interested in the Audigy 4, X-Fi Xtreme Audio, and X-Fi Xtreme Music. Could you compare these cards? I am mainly interested in listening to music (70%), but also some gaming (30%). I am leaning towards buying Swan M200 speakers to connect to my new sound card.

Thanks,
-ROJ

as far as i know, those cards are about the same (except the audigy 4).. only the front panel etc is different.

good to see you're planning on getting nice speakers for such a card tough =]
