Im buying z5500 next month, and i wanted to chose a sound card.
I tought about two options
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829121122&Tpk=revulotion
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829102005&Tpk=Creative%20X-Fi%20Xtreme%20Gamer%20Fatal1ty%20Professional

I know the creative is more expensive, but i wanted to know if its much better than the m-audio and if its worth the money.
or in other words, if the z5500 will use the options that the Creative one gives.
btw you can suggest other sound cards.
using the z5500 for games, HD, and music (in that order).
thanks!

Grr all these people buying soundcards for their z5500s, there really is minimal point unless you MUST have EAX. The z5500s really aren't good enough to warrant using a decent soundcard.
