I am planning to get a new sound card soon, moving up from onboard

I've been pressed with this decision

X-Fi Fatality or Xonar D2X

I use my computer for literally everything, from Homework, Web-browsing, Music, Gaming, and image and video rendering.

Which one should I choose
and which ones should I avoid and why?

Xonar





Creative apparently heard the story about a million monkeys writing Shakespeare and figured if that was possible then drivers ought to be easy... :p Seriously, though - their drivers are better than they used to be, but...

------------------------------ Which Chip? Well, it depends on which set of thieving b@stardz you choose to support: The ones who use insider trading to enrich themselves while running their company into the ground? Or the ones who illegally pay vendors to not support the first group?

Creative doesn't support their products like the use to, and then there was the whole Daniel K thing when someone tried to fix their crappy drivers himself.
